Lyrics
They taught me how to curtsy and to wait To keep my voice inside the lines To smile when someone told me where to stand And call it being kind But something in my chest began to burn A note I never dared to sing I held it in until it shook my hands And now I'm done with whispering Open up my lungs Let the whole sky hear Say it louder than the silence Sing it higher than the wall I will not be small for anyone I will not be small at all Let the rafters shake with courage Let the chandeliers take flight Say it louder than the silence And I'll sing into the light They may not like the sound that I have found They may turn their faces away But every voice that ever changed the world Began with someone who would say Open up my lungs Let the whole sky hear Say it louder than the silence Sing it higher than the wall I will not be small for anyone I will not be small at all Let the rafters shake with courage Let the chandeliers take flight Say it louder than the silence And I'll sing into the light One breath, one name, one open door One voice and then a thousand more I was never meant to disappear Listen, listen, I am here Say it louder than the silence Sing it higher than the wall I will not be small for anyone I will not be small at all Let the rafters shake with courage Let the chandeliers take flight Say it louder than the silence And I'll sing into the light And I'll sing into the light
