Laws that
Were carved in stone
Have not changed for a hundred years.
"Just stand and watch, girl,"
If they tell me that,
My life will not simply obey...
Oh voice... what will I be without you?
In a single moment,
The whole world turns upside down...
Am I just a stone?
Will I fade away without a word?
Did I hold this fire within myself?
Will I remain speechless?
Speak, my voice... my voice...
Without opening up, without speaking out,
If I let this go, won't I be destroyed?
Will I remain speechless? Speak, my voice...
Even if you take away my feet,
I am a bird soaring into the sky.
Do not break my wings,
For I am meant to fly across those skies.
Is all of this real? Am I mute?
Without any life inside,
Won't I just turn to ash?
Will I remain speechless?
Speak, my voice... my voice...
I will question,
I will confront approaching death itself,
I will fight to speak my word.
Will I remain speechless? Speak, my voice...
Will I remain speechless?
Speak, my voice... my voice...
