And then you gotta find the way that you walk in, everybody's walking You gotta find the words to say when you're talking, everybody's talking So I built the words into a song, I'm hoping someone's singing along And even if some notes are wrong, I'm hoping someone's singing along Cause just one voice is not enough, I need to hear from everyone And even when I'm dead and gone, I'm hoping someone's singing along Make a noise, I can hear you now, won't you raise your voice just a little louder Make a noise, I can hear you now, won't you raise your voice just a little louder So I built the words into a song, I'm hoping someone's singing along And even if some notes are wrong, I'm hoping someone's singing along Cause just one voice is not enough, I need to hear from everyone And even when I'm dead and gone, I'm hoping someone's singing along
