Million Voices
Barlow Girl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And stand up against the normal
Are we too outspoken, loud and messing up the comfortable
Well, we've been messed up also
How can we be silent
When a fire burns inside of us?
They'll remember we were here
With a million voices breaking silence 'till
They'll remember we were here
We were made to start the riot, take on the impossible
And we will slay the giants
We are done with fake religion fighting now to find the movement
Won't stop 'till we find it
How can we be silent
When a fire burns inside of us?
We're a million strong and getting stronger still
They'll remember we were here
With a million voices breaking silence 'till
They'll remember we were here
We're a million strong and getting stronger still
They'll remember we were here
With a million voices breaking silence 'till
They'll remember we were here
We're a million strong and getting stronger still
They'll remember we here
With a million voices breaking silence 'till
They'll remember we were here
They'll remember we were here
You will remember
Yes, you'll remember
You will remember
Yes, you'll remember
