Speak Up

Your voice maybe inaudible
Maybe only one or two listened

But who knows, they might have thousands who listened to them

So, Speak up!

You fear your ideas will be a laughing stock

But still, you believe it’s crucial

For everybody’s concern

So, Speak up!

Standing up, muster courage

Although, inside; your quivering, shaking, fearing humiliation

But still, you find the strength to deliver the message

So, Speak up!

Be the voice for others; who do not have

Speak softly; but with convictions

Be the ripple; make waves

Speak up! Speak up! Speak up!
