Use Your Voice
Rising Voices: A Call for Change by Xanny Stars
Lyrics
I could put it into words but I'm not gonna
I am capable of expressing myself verbally, but I choose not to.
Even those these times make me wanna
Despite challenging times, I resist the urge to speak out.
Tryna use my voice as something worth while
Attempting to make my voice meaningful and impactful.
Like a testimony in life's trial
Comparing the use of my voice to a testimony in the trials of life.
I could put it into words but I'm not gonna
Reiteration of the choice not to verbalize thoughts and feelings.
Even though these times make me wanna
Despite difficulties, I resist the inclination to speak up.
Tryna use my voice as something worth wile
Striving to make my voice valuable and significant.
Like a testimony in life's trial
Comparing the use of my voice to a testimony in the trials of life.
Something's gotta give
Expressing the need for a change or resolution.
Things have got to change
Stating the necessity for things to evolve or transform.
We must not let the ones already lost die in vain
Emphasizing the importance of preventing further loss and ensuring past sacrifices are not in vain.
I could put it into words but I'm not gonna
Reiteration of the choice not to verbalize thoughts and feelings.
Even those these times make me wanna
Despite challenging times, I resist the urge to speak out.
Tryna use my voice as something worth while
Attempting to make my voice meaningful and impactful.
Like a testimony in life's trial
Comparing the use of my voice to a testimony in the trials of life.
I could put it into words but I'm not gonna
Reiteration of the choice not to verbalize thoughts and feelings.
Even though these times makes me wanna
Despite difficulties, I resist the inclination to speak up.
Tryna use my voice as something worth while
Striving to make my voice valuable and significant.
Like a testimony in life's trial
Comparing the use of my voice to a testimony in the trials of life.
For some of you who can relate
Addressing those who can relate to the speaker.
Your voices carry other ways
Noting that some people express themselves differently.
How is that you have no sympathy being quite the same?
Questioning the lack of empathy despite shared experiences.
We must fight back and we must take control
Advocating for dismantling evil and building a better world collectively.
Dismantle what is evil and build a better world as a whole
Expressing the internal conflict of whether to verbalize thoughts and feelings.
I could put it into words and maybe I oughta
Reiteration of the internal conflict regarding verbal expression.
These times surely make me wanna
Acknowledging the strong inclination to speak out in challenging times.
I could put it into words and maybe I oughta
Reiteration of the internal conflict regarding verbal expression.
These times surely make me wanna
Acknowledging the strong inclination to speak out in challenging times.
