Gritar
When the air is used up and your boots are tight from walking so much
When the count is unfair and what you like the most tastes bad
Suddenly the disguise of a brave soldier is painted
You take a step forwards, because the things you have always kept quiet are urgent
And shout and shout and shout and give courage a place
And put a name to the fear and pull off a piece of sky
Be happy even though you may fail
Because a knot in the throat isn’t loosened if you hold on
Thorns should not be swallowed
Words have an edge and nobody has forbidden me to shout
You’ll feel like a frightened dog that has never barked
You’ll sound like a forgotten record that nobody has played
Because nobody signed in their blood a law that takes away your right
To go in front and show your teeth, releasing the voice in your chest
And shout and shout and shout and give courage a place
And put a name to the fear and pull off a piece of sky
Be happy even though you may fail
Because a knot in the throat isn’t loosened if you hold on
Thorns should not be swallowed
Words have an edge and nobody has forbidden me to shout
What you keep inside will dry up with time
Get it out, it’s worth more than condemning it to silence, and shout
And shout and shout and shout and give courage a place
And put a name to the fear and pull off a piece of sky
Be happy even though you may fail
Because a knot in the throat isn’t loosened if you hold on
Thorns should not be swallowed
Words have an edge and nobody has forbidden me to shout
