[Verse 1] I say one word, you feel the room It hits like thunder, clears the gloom No silver chains, no flashing signs Just a little breath that moves the lines My mouth makes fire, my tongue makes gold A simple sound can change the cold I drop a phrase, the whole thing starts It beats through bone, it breaks through hearts [Pre-Chorus] So lean in close, let it ring Every syllable can change a thing From my lips to your skin Watch the whole world wake again [Chorus] Speak it loud, speak it loud Make the silence back down Speak it loud, speak it loud Shake the floor, shake the crowd One voice up, we rise above Sound like truth, sound like love Speak it loud, speak it loud Make the silence back down [Verse 2] A shout can split the fear in two A name can pull the storm right through A prayer can open iron doors A laugh can light up broken floors I heard my people say my name And every doubt fell out the frame What you release, it finds its way A little sound can change your day [Pre-Chorus] So lean in close, let it ring Every syllable can change a thing From my lips to your skin Watch the whole world wake again [Chorus] Speak it loud, speak it loud Make the silence back down Speak it loud, speak it loud Shake the floor, shake the crowd One voice up, we rise above Sound like truth, sound like love Speak it loud, speak it loud Make the silence back down [Bridge] Hear that hush turn alive We were made to testify No, not one voice, but many A little spark in every plenty [Final Chorus] Speak it loud, speak it loud Make the silence back down Speak it loud, speak it loud Shake the floor, shake the crowd One voice up, we rise above Sound like truth, sound like love Speak it loud, speak it loud Make the silence back down
