Read All About It (A Symphony of British Music: Music For the Closing Ceremony

You've got the words to change a nation
But you're biting your tongue
You've spent a lifetime stuck in silence
Afraid you'll say something wrong
If no one ever hears it,
How we gonna learn your song?
So come on come on, come on come on

You've got a heart as loud as lions
So why let your voice be tamed?
Maybe we're a little different,
There's no need to be ashamed
You've got the light to fight the shadows
So stop hiding it away
Come on, come on

I wanna sing
I wanna shout
I wanna scream till the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
They can read all about it, read all about it oh

At night we're waking up the neighbours
While we sing away the blues
Making sure that we're remembered yeah,
Cause we all matter too
If the truth has been forbidden,
Then we're breaking all the rules
So come on come on, come on come on

Let's get the TV and the radio
To play our tune again,
It's bout time we got some airplay
Of our version of events
There's no need to be afraid,
I will sing with you my friend
Come on come on

I wanna sing
I wanna shout
I wanna scream till the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
They can read all about it, read all about it oh

Yeah we're all wonderful, wonderful people
So when did we all get so fearful?
Now we're finally finding our voices
So take a chance come help me sing this

Yeah we're all wonderful, wonderful people
So when did we all get so fearful?
And now we're finally finding our voices
Just take a chance come help me sing this

I wanna sing
I wanna shout
I wanna scream till the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
They can read all about it, read all about it oh

I wanna sing
I wanna shout
I wanna scream till the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
They can read all about it, read all about it oh
