Speaking for myself Let me be the one to tell you Right to your face Speaking for myself Let me be the one To lead you out of this place Let me be the water boilin' In a pot of yesterdays Get high, start to cry One day you're gonna say Speaking for yourself Found out that you played a bigger part Than you knew Speaking for yourself Suddenly you found out there was more in you Speakin' like a neon burnin' soldier Fightin' for a righteous soul Get high, start to cry But one day I know you'll know It's your time, It's your turn It's your life, It's your world Speaking for ourselves We stood up to the night Crashing down on our head Speaking for ourselves We stood up to the lies Spoken by the living dead Stood up to the violence Turning heroes into k**ers Turning lovers into a widow's child Get high, start to cry One day you'll realize It's your time, It's your turn It's your life, It's your world Speaking for myself Let me be the one to tell you Right to your face Speaking for myself Let me be the one To take you out of this place And I'm speaking for myself
