And now I raise my voice… In defiance
To break the chains that have bound these hands
Arrest the fear inside and shed this callous coat
I’ve got to know just where I stand…
Chorus:
I will… not walk silently through this life
I will… never yield the passion in my soul
I will not surrender what’s inside, I could never!
I will… not walk silently through this life this is my promise
And so I’ll seize the day because it’s all I’ve got
And I will question everything im taught
Emancipate my life, compel my thoughts
Embrace this world, I will not be bought so…
(Chorus)
And I will stand, and I will break the silence
I will (2x) I will not surrender
I will (2x) I will not surrender
No! I will not walk silent
No! I will not lose hope
No! I will not surrender
No! I’m gonna break the silence
This is my life and I will not give up ’till I die
No more fear, no more lies, I’ve got to know just where I stand
Each and every day… know just where I stand
