To be heard and free


All I need

You cannot put into words,

Is it to be free?

But, its something that you can't afford.

Is it to be heard?

Yes, all I need is for someone to hear me,

I might even change a life for someone who doesn't even know me,

But I cannot go without sharing my word,

It's hard to stay quiet in a world like this, 

To where if you don't speak up for yourself,

You'll be eaten up in a minute,

You cannot live in a world to just survive and let it go by,

But, to find your talent and let everyone hear it.

So don't be quiet,

I don't want to be a caged bird and unable to fly,

I want to be free and spread my wings out wide. 

I won't stay quiet and locked,

But i'll be free and heard throughout the sky.

Because, all I need is to be free and heard.

Most people dont understand, but all I need is to be understood.
