Lost my voice at the age of 23
Having not learned how to speak properly
But how can I lose my voice
When I haven’t even said anything, anything

I’m a diplomat, so I put my needs aside
Always smiling, to keep ‘em pacified
It’s so hard to tell the truth, so I tell a little lie
Maybe it makes ‘em happy, but what does it imply?

I had my song but was afraid to sing
So I hid my voice from everything
Drowning in silence I couldn’t see
That the dream was still inside of me

Lost my voice, lost my sight
Lost my way, but I never lost my fight
Lost my hope, lost my scheme,
Lost myself, but I never lost my dream

So I kept my feelings quiet, avoided all the strife
Safe back in the bleachers of this game called life
It took a lot of guidance to change the outcome
But being true to yourself is more important than pleasing everyone

I had my song but was afraid to sing
So I hid my voice from everything
Drowning in silence I couldn’t see
That the dream was still inside of me

Lost my voice, lost my sight
Lost my way, but I never lost my fight
Lost my hope, lost my scheme,
Lost myself, but I never lost my dream

I finally believe in my voice
And I can sing my truth, my light without fear
Would you let me sing? Can I sing for you?
Let me sing, let me sing, let me sing!

Found my voice, found my sight
Found my way, and I’ll always have my fight
Found my hope, no need for scheme,
Found myself, and I’ll always have my dream

Found my voice at the age of 25
Having the courage to be alive
But how can I contain my voice
When I still have to say everything, everything?
