My Voice

[Autumn Blaze]
I am not throwing away my voice!
I am not throwing away my voice!
And no, I'm not keepin' quiet
I defied the stream of silence
And I’m not throwing away my voice!
You don't wanna hear it, but I wrote some lyrics
I know it started with our fear of turning into niriks
But when we gave up all our feelings we just lost our spirits
And I'm sick of awkwardly moving my hooves
Just to ask to pass the syrup
I'm the one you know and love, the only Autumn Blaze
I wrote your favorite plays, and the daily paper most days
We used to always greet each other here in this town
Through the smiles and the frowns, the ups and downs
But one day, a lousy mood became a fiery dispute
And then a cataclysmic feud and so we put ourselves on mute
So rude attitudes wouldn't ruin things again
A ludicrous idea, let me tell you why, my friends

I am the Autumn B-L-A-Z-E
And kirin, we're in a catastrophe

Of apathy controlling us constantly
All thanks to Rain Shine's asinine policy
In summary, we've doomed our society
Into a voiceless emotionless eternity
We all thought it solved the problem, but actually
It only leads to spiritual atrophy
And just think about our posterity
With no lullabies or stories when they go to sleep
When they grow up they're gonna be incomplete
But can't you see? This isn't how it has to be!

'Cause I am not throwing away my voice
I am not throwing away my voice
And no, I'm not keepin' quiet
I defied the stream of silence
And I’m not throwing away my voice
I am not throwing away my voice
I am not throwing away my voice
And no, I'm not keepin' quiet
I defied the stream of silence
And I’m not throwing away my voice

It’s time to make a choice
I dream of life where we all talk again
And don't worry about getting mad at all your friends
Before you go off on them, stop and get some oxygen
By taking a walk and then countin' to ten
You gotta use your voice

My name's Jonathan Towel
I love all your consonants and all of your vowels
But now I'm super sad 'cause nothing gets spoken
I'm really really hopin' that maybe you'll open
Up and use your voice

And yo we’ll never be truly free
Until those in bondage have the same rights as you and me--

"Wait a minute, that's not right. Ohhh! You know what I did, I actually mixed that up with another play that I'm writing now, oh my gosh. I am sorry. That's embarassing, let me just find my spot here real quick..."

It's a really cool play, though. Like, I don't wanna spoil it
But it'll be epic, dramatic and super historic
Anyway, wrong play. That mistake was enormous...
Oh what the hay, let's just go back to the chorus

I am not throwing away my voice
I am not throwing away my voice
And no, I'm not keepin' quiet
I defied the stream of silence
And I’m not throwing away my voice
I am not throwing away my voice
I am not throwing away my voice
And no, I'm not keepin' quiet
I defied the stream of silence
And I’m not throwing away my voice

Everykirin sing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
Whoa, whoa, oh no. no no no
Please don't go
No no no
"Stop, sit, stay. Good kirin."

Speak up
Tell your brother that he’s gotta speak up
Tell your sister that she's gotta speak up
Tell all your nonbinary friends they gotta speak up
When are we finally gonna speak up?
When are we finally gonna speak up?
When are we finally gonna speak up?
When are we finally gonna speak up?
Speak up!

I know you're mad I tricked you into another musical
But for all of you to pull
That stunt to make our vocal cords unusable
Was inexcusable, I think it's irrefutable
That life with speech was much more beautiful

Recall the ancient stories Aurora taught us
And Rain Shine, your angelic singing was flawless
And I know you were there when Fern Flare made that joke about the llamas
And Summer Spark, girl, you're an auctioneering goddess

Introverted, extroverted, quiet or loud
Communication is what every relationship's about
Even that little, "hiya, seeya, thank you, please"
Or just a simple "gesundheit" when we sneeze
These memories and many more
Don't they all remind you of that lovely time before?
I'm sorta running low on the plant that's got the cure
But I'm sure with your help and support we'll find some more

We've turned our dread and fear into this situation we're in
But I know the skies are clearin', the sun is reappearin'
It's a brand new atmosphere and we'll be talkin', singin', cheerin'
I'll spread my message near and far to every kirin here and

Guys, it's finally time we realize that all our feelings inside
Are just fine 'cause they define us and they keep us alive
We shouldn't give up our laughter 'cause we're scared of some pain
You'll never see a rainbow if you never let it rain!

[Autumn Blaze and Choir]
And I am not throwing away my voice
I am not throwing away my voice
And no, I'm not keepin' quiet
I defied the stream of silence
And I’m not throwing away my voice
I am not throwing away my voice
I am not throwing away my voice

[Autumn Blaze]
You gotta, speak up, speak up
You gotta, speak up, speak up
You gotta, speak up, speak up
You gotta, speak up, speak up
It's time to use your voice, time to use our voice
And I am not throwing away my-
Not throwing away my voice!
