Tired of Being Quiet

Lyrics
We don't talk about the distance We don't talk about the hunger Perhaps since we don't talk they cannot tell we're going under Perhaps we've been too fearful of not doing what we're told Oh, it's easy being quiet but it ain't easy being alone In a land where I'm a stranger Is a land where I am numb I cross the streets in shadows to hope the whole world won't find out That my rights are still translucent, like a sharp wind in the cold Oh, it's easy being quiet but it ain't easy being alone I learned that poverty is normal I learned the language hurts my tongue I learned that jobs are scarce like cutlery is sharp as hunger to my stomach My bravery is still nameless, an expressionless expression Oh, it's easy being quiet but it won't leave much room for questions When can we learn to live forgiveness? When can my brothers know their names? Will we ever find the balance of sharing land in the same place? I feel the new world slowly bloomin' as the old one starts to mold Oh, it's easy being quiet but it ain't easy being alone So go tell your friends and mothers Tell them you are done The war's gone long without us using the ammo of our tongues I see justice in each pea pod and every hand that's gone to feed it 'Cause I'm tired of being quiet 'Cause I'm tired of being quiet I'm so tired of being quiet And the soul is not defeated
