It’s beautiful
It’s powerful
It’s unique
It’s a weapon

Your breath is the gas
Your tongue is the lighter
Your words are the fire

Speak up and let it be
A single utterance is all we need
Backed by a determined disposition
A transformation to those who listen

They know the power a voice can hold
They try to silence the voice and the stories being told
Dare I say let the voice be heard and the stories unfold

Break the chains bound to the brim of your lips
That resistance is futile to the goals you envision
Those dreams long overdue must come to fruition

Take a deep breath
Set ready your tongue
Use your words of fire to ignite the movement

Your breath is the gas
Your tongue is the lighter
Your words are the fire

SPEAK.
