If Our Voices Were The Cure

There's more to every person that meets the eye at any second
A potential to show another side of ourselves we kept stored away
A breath we have not released cause we can be so hesitant
It’s like another person locked inside has been fighting to escape
Tear it open, break the seal, don't set aside
It’s the message that was meant to stay alive
It was written to be shared, and not hide
As the sickness will endure
Could we read it to the world, if our voices were the cure?
Whisper to those beside us, but won’t speak out to the masses
Playing innocent in silence when we know something’s wrong
We betray ourselves when we ignore the times we're given chances
If our voices were the cure for the sickness that we’ve let go all along
Tear it open, break the seal, don't set aside
It’s the message that was meant to stay alive
It was written to be shared, and not hide
As the sickness will endure
Could we read it to the world, if our voices were the cure?
Would you be willing to make that change
To speak out from another height
Would you take that leap of faith
And be willing to sacrifice?
Could you let the fear be erased
That the world has placed in your eyes?
Would you take on this new embrace
If your voice were the cure to save a life?
Tear it open, break the seal, don't set aside
It’s the message that was meant to stay alive
It was written to be shared, and not hide
As the sickness will endure
Could we read it to the world, if our voices were the cure?
