Headlines Read Out
Singing Louder: Embracing Change and Leading the Choir
Lyrics
Stay for a moment
Expressing a desire for someone to stay momentarily.
And I promise that it will be different
Promising a change and a revelation of a new aspect of the speaker.
And you'll see a brand new side of me.
Anticipating the revelation of a different side of the speaker.
So where's the upside to this story
Questioning the positive aspect or outcome of the story.
Or the obvious typical ending,
Reflecting on the lack of a clear and expected conclusion.
Were we poisoned from the start?
Wondering if the relationship was problematic from the beginning.
Extra extra,
Beginning a newspaper-style announcement.
Headlines read out that yesterday is gone,
Reporting that yesterday is over, indicating a shift in time or circumstances.
The creativity lacks
Pointing out a lack of creativity in the current situation.
And each page has the same old story quote
Describing a repetitive and unchanging narrative.
I am not the kind
Asserting a tendency to express oneself without reservation.
That puts the pencil away before letting it read out
Refusing to suppress creative expression prematurely.
So don't get caught up in the slightly different font
Advising against getting distracted by minor differences.
And I am not the kind
Expressing a refusal to avoid confrontations or challenges.
That puts the pistol away before letting it ring out
Emphasizing a commitment to facing difficult situations.
It is our time to lead the choir
Declaring a moment for the speaker and others to take charge.
We won't be quiet and we'll just sing louder.
Promising not to remain silent and to assert themselves boldly.
Can you hear us now?
Asking if the intended message is now audible or understood.
I am not the kind
Reiterating the refusal to stifle creative expression.
That puts the pencil away before letting it read out
Warning against being distracted by minor variations.
So don't get caught up in the slightly different font
Repeating the caution against getting caught up in trivial differences.
And I am not the kind
Reaffirming the commitment to face challenges directly.
That puts the pistol away before letting it ring out
Reiterating the refusal to avoid difficult situations.
It is our time to lead the choir
Restating the call for collective leadership and bold expression.
We won't be quiet and we'll just sing louder.
Emphasizing the refusal to stay quiet and a commitment to singing louder.
Always believe in honesty
Encouraging a belief in honesty as a principle.
Stay for a moment and I promise we'll be different.
Repeating the promise of a different future if one stays for a moment.
Can't you can't you see that this is the proof you need
Highlighting evidence that supports the need for change.
And all that has happened has had to be
Asserting that all past events were necessary.
Can't you can't you see that this is the proof you need
Reiterating the evidence that supports the need for change.
Can't you can't you see that this is what we all need.
Emphasizing the collective need for a particular change.
Can't you see this is the proof you need?
Positively affirming the necessity of the presented proof.
Extra, extra
Continuing the newspaper-style announcement.
I am not the kind
Reiterating the commitment to free expression without suppression.
That puts the pencil away before letting it read out
Warning against prematurely suppressing creative expression.
So don't get caught up in the slightly different font
Advising against being distracted by minor differences in presentation.
And I am not the kind
Reiterating the commitment to face challenges directly and boldly.
That puts the pistol away before letting it ring out
Emphasizing the refusal to avoid confrontations or difficulties.
It is our time to lead the choir
Restating the call for collective leadership and bold expression.
We won't be quiet and we'll just sing louder
Reaffirming the commitment not to stay silent and to sing louder.
