One day, the shadows will hide no longer

In the reflections of lost men.

The mind and heart will come together

And once again become good friends.

And all those dreams will be remembered

And all those lies will be revealed

And all that pain we thought we blocked out

Will all come begging to be healed.

Silence that once felt oh so awkward

Will give away lover's confessions.

The pen will rise above the sword

As man's most valuable possession.

And you will know on this bright day

That you've never spoken before

Up until now your words were empty

It's days like this your voice was for.

So speak up!

SPEAK UP
