Lyrics
We've been walking on eggshells, trying not to make a sound,
But there's a fire in our voices that's been waiting to come out.
Every heartbeat's like a rhythm saying "stand up, take your place,"
And the world is getting brighter when we finally show our face.
We've been dreaming in the shadows, now we're stepping in the light,
Every story, every heartbeat has a reason to ignite.
There's a power in the moment when you speak what's in your soul,
And the truth becomes a banner that you're finally free to hold.
(Chorus)
Say what you want, do what you want -- let your voice break through,
This is your time, your open sky, no one can speak for you.
Freedom is loud, freedom is ours, rising like a spark,
Say what you want, do what you want -- let your truth light up the dark.
We've been told to keep it quiet, keep our colours tucked away,
But the world is made of voices that refuse to fade to grey.
Every whisper turns to thunder when we stand up side by side,
And the future starts unfolding when we stop trying to hide.
(Bridge)
Raise your words like constellations, let them shine across the night,
Every voice becomes a beacon when we dare to speak our light.
There's a freedom in the chorus when we all begin to sing --
Every truth we've ever carried finally learning how to ring.
(Chorus)
Say what you want, do what you want -- let your voice break through,
This is your time, your open sky, no one can speak for you.
Freedom is loud, freedom is ours, rising like a spark,
Say what you want, do what you want -- let your truth light up the dark.
So here's to every heartbeat that refused to disappear,
To the voices growing stronger with each step that brought them here.
We're a world of open stories, and we're finally breaking free --
Say what you want, do what you want, be exactly who you're meant to be.
