about
Taking inspiration from pop anthems, the song attempts to remind people that they have a voice. With experimentation with varied rhythms and big vocals this piece aims to inspire the courage to speak up and have an opinion.
lyrics
V1:
Apathy will destroy us all:
We need to hurt, we need to fall,
To motivate beyond ourselves.
Let's create change, create progress,
And step by step we'll aim to fix
The silence we all endure.
Chorus A:
I'm standing strong with my
Arms open wide as we
Raise up our voices
Up to the sky
Calling out for freedom
Calling for the chance to be heard.
V2:
Discourse is small 'cause what we say
Breaks the rules they have in play
Our thoughts are now subdued.
We have a chance to break the mould
And go against what we've been told
Opening up closed doors.
Chorus A
Bridge:
Come Join The Rebellion x 6
Bridge continues over Chorus B:
Standing strong
With arms open wide
We raise up our voices,
Call out for freedom tonight.
Chorus A & Chorus B layered x2
