Read All About It (Pt. III)

Emeli Sandé · Itunes Session (Ep) [2013]

You've got the words to change a nation but you're biting your tongue

You've spent a lifetime stuck in silence afraid you'll say something wrong

If no one ever hears it, how we gonna learn your song?

So come on come on, come on come on



You've got a heart as loud as lions so why let your voice be tamed?

Maybe we're a little different, there's no need to be ashamed

You've got the light to fight the shadows so stop hiding it away

Come on, come on



I wanna sing

I wanna shout

I wanna scream till the words dry out

So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid

They can read all about it, read all about it oh



Oh ohhh oh

Ohhh ohhh oh

Ohhh oh oh



At night we're waking up the neighbours while we sing away the blues

Making sure that we're remembered yeah, cause we all matter too

If the truth has been forbidden, then we're breaking all the rules

So come on come on, come on come on



Let's get the TV and the radio to play our tune again,

It's bout time we got some airplay of our version of events

There's no need to be afraid, I will sing with you my friend

Come on come on



I wanna sing

I wanna shout

I wanna scream till the words dry out

So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid

They can read all about it, read all about it oh



Oh ohhh oh

Ohhh ohhh oh

Ohhh oh oh



Yeah we're all wonderful, wonderful people

So when did we all get so fearful?

Now we're finally finding our voices

So take a chance come help me sing this



Yeah we're all wonderful, wonderful people

So when did we all get so fearful?

And now we're finally finding our voices

Just take a chance come help me sing this



I wanna sing

I wanna shout

I wanna scream till the words dry out

So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid

They can read all about it, read all about it oh



Oh ohhh oh

Ohhh ohhh oh

Ohhh oh oh



I wanna sing

I wanna shout

I wanna scream till the words dry out

So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid

They can read all about it, read all about it oh
