I WON'T STAY SILENT ANY LONGER

by Ann Mortifee

 

I won't stay silent any longer
This may be the last chance for me
I won't pretend that I'm not feeling
All the feelings deep in me

I won't pretend that I'm not hurting
When I'm hurting when afraid
I won't deny the things I long to tell you
I won't let the fear get in the way

I'm gonna open up and let the feelings soar
I'm gonna fling wide the windows and the door
I'm gonna take a risk
I'm gonna take a chance
I'm gonna open up and tell you who I am

All the times I held my heart in hiding
All the times I tucked away the pain
To give you all the things I thought you wanted
But the hidden heart of loneliness remained

I won't stay silent any longer
This may be the last chance for me
To sing the song I always wanted
The song that's always haunting me

I'm gonna live as if tomorrow never comes
I'm gonna sing my song and dance beneath the sun
I'm gonna take a risk
I'm gonna take a chance
I'm gonna open up and tell you who I am

I'm gonna open like I've never done before
I'm gonna fling wide the windows and the door
I'm gonna take a risk
I'm gonna take a chance
I'm gonna open up and tell you
Open up and tell you who I am
