Speechless

Speechless - Emma Heesters

Lyrics by：Alan Menken/Benj Pasek/Justin Paul

Composed by：Alan Menken/Benj Pasek/Justin Paul

Here comes a wave meant to wash me away

A tide that is taking me under

Swallowing sand left with nothing to say

My voice drowned out in the thunder

But I won't cry

And I won't start to crumble

Whenever they try

To shut me or cut me down

I won't be silenced

You can't keep me quiet

Won't tremble when you try it

All I know is I won't go speechless

Written in stone

Every rule every word

Centuries old and unbending

Stay in your place

Better seen and not heard

But now that story is ending

'Cause I

I cannot start to crumble

So come on and try

Try to shut me and cut me down

I won't be silenced

You can't keep me quiet

Won't tremble when you try it

All I know is I won't go speechless speechless

Let the storm in

No I cannot be broken

No I won't live unspoken

'Cause I know that I won't go speechless

Try to lock me in this cage

I won't just lay me down and die

I will take these broken wings

And watch me burn across the sky

Hear the echo saying

I won't be silenced

Though you wanna see me tremble when you try it

All I know is I won't go speechless speechless

'Cause I'll breathe

When they try to suffocate me

Don't you underestimate me

'Cause I know that I won't go speechless

All I know is I won't go speechless speechless
