Speak now or forever hold your peace
Speak now until the words cease
What words would you want to tell the crowd
What thoughts would you dare to speak aloud

CHORUS:
And if you knew
The reasons that you
Hide out of view
You'd know just what to do
You'd say everything
And the choir would sing
And the bells in the tower would ring

Come out from your place behind the trees
Speak now and you'll put your mind at ease
Stand up before the gathered crowd
Look up, your head should not be bowed

REPEAT CHORUS

Speak now or forever hold your peace
