They point and laugh while he holds the hand of another man
And, he pretends to not hear them
While their eyes burn a hole right through to his soul
They don't know the anger inside him
But, love is worth the fight
You can't be quiet all the time

SPEAK YOUR MIND
Life is too short for what's wrong and what's right
SPEAK YOUR MIND
If you end up in last - at least you were first in line

She's looked down upon for feelings that she feels so strong
Loving a man with colored skin
She's heard it all every name you can be called
It still hurts whether she lets it in
But, love is worth the fight
You can't be quiet all the time

SPEAK YOUR MIND
Life is too short for what's wrong and what's right
SPEAK YOUR MIND
If you end up in last - at least you were first in line

Little remarks build up but they don't have to
All the dirty looks in the world can't compare to
The way you'll feel inside - so

SPEAK YOUR MIND
Life is too short for what's wrong and what's right
SPEAK YOUR MIND
If you end up in last - at least you were first in line
