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 lightning 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 'til 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 oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh At night we're waking up the neighbors 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 So come on, come on 'Cause I wanna sing, I wanna shout I wanna scream 'til 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 oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Yes, 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 Yes, 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 'Cause I wanna sing, I wanna shout I wanna scream 'til the words dry out So put it in all of the papers I'm not afraid They can read all about it (Professor Green) Read all about it, oh As a kid I looked up to you Only thing was I never saw enough of you The last thing I said to you was I hated you I loved you and now it's too late to say to you Just didn't know what to do or how to deal with it Even now deep down I'm still livid To think, I used to blame me I wondered what I did to you to make you hate me I wasn't even 5, life's a journey and mine wasn't an easy ride You never even got to see me rhyme I just wished you would have reached out I wish you would've been 'round when I'd been down I wish that you could see me now Wherever you are I really hope you found peace But know that if I ever have kids Unlike you I'll never let them be without me 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 oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh 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 Ladies and gentlemen, Professor Green London, make some noise for Emeli Sandé
