I Refuse

[Verse One]

If you thought I'd stay quiet

Then you are surely mistaken

Cause I don't know how to be silent

When I have been shaken


[Chorus]

Oh I'll stomp my boots on the ground

I'll shout for all to hear the sound

If it means keeping the peace

For compliance and obedience

Only have you bowing at injustice

And I refuse to let that be me


[Verse Two]

Did you hear my voice

Or did you just hear the noise

Either way one day I will be heard

For you don't get a choice

On whether or not you get to avoid

My first, my last, and my every word


[Chorus]

I'll stomp my boots on the ground

I'll shout for all to hear the sound

If it means keeping the peace

For compliance and obedience

Only have you bowing at injustice

And I refuse to let that be me


[Bridge]

Oh even after my heart is done beating

I swear on my grave there will still be sound

You will find me in the echos

Of the change that happens now


[Chorus/outro]

You'll hear me in stomping boots on the ground

In every time someone makes a shout

Just to keep the peace

For compliance and obedience

Only have you bowing at injustice

So raise your hand to take a stand with me

And say I refuse to just let it be

Oh I refuse, I refuse to let it be me

I refuse, I refuse to let that be me
