Voices Carry

[Verse 1]
I don't know how to say
All the things that I need to say
I been dying to run but I can't get away
They tell me I oughta know
How to get up and go
Search the sky for the sun but the clouds are grey

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't know the words
But still you're trying to sing along
When the night is calling
You know you gotta take it on

[Chorus]
It's hard to win
When nobody wanna listen
But voices carry
Voices carry
It's hard to change
When everyone wanna stay the same
But voices carry
Voices carry

[Verse 2]
Where do I gotta go?
Who's gonna free my soul
When I am half mast on the flagpole? (On the flagpole)
Whether you like it or not
This little house is all wе got
And we can change the locks to keep out thе cold

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't know the words
But still you gotta sing along

[Chorus]
It's hard to win
When nobody wanna listen
But voices carry
Voices carry
It's hard to change
When everyone wanna stay the same
But voices carry
Voices carry

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, voices carry
Ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Bridge]
How many times does it take to hear me?
How loud now until it comes out clearly?
I want you to come with me, can you?
Hold me higher and I'll take your hand too
How many times does it take to hear me?
How loud now until it comes out clearly?
I want you to come light the fire
Hold me and we'll go higher

[Chorus]
It's hard to win
When nobody wanna listen
But voices carry (Voices carry)
Voices carry
It's hard to change
Everyone wanna stay the same
But voices carry (Voices carry)
Voices carry (Voices carry)

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, voices carry
Ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, voices carry
Ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, voices carry
Ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
