Lyrics
Speak
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
the time has come for me to speak
uh oh the time has come
and while the silence picks on me
I pray to not be dumb
so I am hunting for the words
just wait til I find some
I need some syllables do you
know where to get them from
when I am in my house alone
my speeches take a week
but from my lips when you are near
a sound will seldom leak
when I was a little girl
I coined a mighty text
looking back I blush to hear
what I'd come out with next
is now the time for me to speak
but what if they talk back
o when I open up my beak
I hope that I can quack
and if I do look out beware
the truth is hard to take
A and everything for all I care
can jump into a lake
