And it all came crumbling down
Oh, I saw how it really is now
Can't go on with my eyes wide shut
Never been the type to play exactly by the book
I stayed silent fearing your response
But there's no denying, there's too much to be done
If I can breathe
I can speak
For the ones
Denied their freedom
Denied a reason
Be the change
Don't just dream it
I've been praying for a savior, coz i'm treated differеnt to my neighbour
Oh, I won't forget the namеs of
Those who couldn't get away...
If I can breathe
I can speak
For the ones
Denied their freedom
Denied a reason
Be the change
Define your meaning
Can't change the world in a day
Can't change the colour of my face
I was born this way
I was born to be brave
If I can breathe
I can speak
For the ones
Denied their freedom
Denied a reason
Be the change
Plant the seeds in
Wish it was a make believe story
The colour of your skin shouldn't be a worry
But the pain is so real and I'm sorry
