I walk these aisles, I'm so neat, so kind The smile I wear is just half-designed Behind that glass frame, I fade away They praise deep silence, but I curse the grey The rules are dense, the doors won’t bend They say to wait, to just pretend A spark inside begins to rise Oh no! I can’t keep it in disguise So I’m standing tall, I’ll take it all My voice tonight breaks the wall And don’t chain my light, don’t call it trite The sound we make Raise the pride! Ooh ee, ooh ee, ooh ee, ooh ee, ooh ee! Inside this gold cage, I play the same They cheer my silence, but I curse the game The signs are crossed, the words are bent My will’s the one they can’t prevent But where’s the end? Can I defend The dream I’ve drawn, the one I meant? Ooh ee! So I’m running far, from who we are But now I see, we’ve come this far And don’t chain my light, don’t call it trite The sound we make — Raise the pride! Ooh ee, ooh ee, ooh ee, ooh ee, ooh ee!" Step by step I’ll find my way Through the dark I face the pain Every scar I’ve carved remains Still I burn to keep the flame The rules are dense, the doors won’t bend They say to wait, to just pretend Ooh ee, ooh ee, ooh ee, ooh ee, ooh ee! So I’m standing tall, I’ll take it all My voice tonight breaks the wall And don’t chain my light, don’t call it trite The sound we make — Raise the pride! So I’m standing tall, I’ll take it all My voice tonight breaks the wall And don’t steal my fire, don’t dim the light The sound we make — Raise the pride! Ooh ee, ooh ee, ooh ee, ooh ee, ooh ee!
