Read All About It (Pt. III)
Emeli Sandé · NRJ Hit List 2012 Vol. 2 [2012]
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
