Alan Menken
Speechless (From Disney’s ”Aladdin”)
[Verse 1]
Here comes a wave
Meant to wash me away
A tide that is taking me under
Swallowing sand
Left with nothing to say
My voice drowned out in the thunder

[Pre-Chrous]
But I won't cry
And I won't start to crumble
Whenever they try
To shut me or cut me down

[Chrous]
I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless

'Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
'Cause I know that I won't go speechlеss

[Verse 2]
Written in stone
Every rulе, every word
Centuries-old and unbending
Stay in your place
Better seen and not heard
But now that story is ending
[Pre-Chrous]
'Cause I, I cannot start to crumble
So come on and try
Try to shut me and cut me down

[Chrous]
I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless

Let the storm in
I cannot be broken
No, I won't live unspoken
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless

[Bridge]
Try to lock me in this cage
I won't just lay me down and die
I will take these broken wings
And watch me burn across the sky
Hear the echoes saying

[Chrous]
I won't be silenced
Though you want to see me tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless
'Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless!
