I Don't Have The Words
02:02

D G
I don't have the words
A
For the rage I feel,
D G
Don't have the language
A
For the grief,
D G
For the fear and the pain,
D G
You've silenced us again,
A D
And I don’t have the words.
A
All the hashtags in the world,
D
Never change a thing,
A
How many angry songs,
D
Can one person sing,
G
Before they finally conceed,
G
That what it takes to be believed,
A
Is to be white and to be male,
A
To have worked really hard at Yale,
D G
I'm running out of steam,
A
It seems like equal rights is a distant dream
Chorus
WHen you mock us and you taunt us,
When we take the floor,
Then you have the gall to ask us,
Why we didn’t speak before,
All I have left is tears,
They’ve confirmed all our fears,
It doesn’t matter what we do,
If it doesn’t fit your view,
You’ll just choose to ignore,
The story we’ve heard one too many times before,
Chorus
It feels like you put your hand,
Over her mouth again,
Smothering the truth,
Denying all her pain,
You took away her voice,
As we looked on without a choice,
As men tried to rationalize,
Why they were going to take your side
How are we meant to fight,
If your covering our mouths I guess we'll have to bite,
Chorus x2

Reesha Dyer London, UK
Hello! I'm Reesha, I sing songs and accompany them on the guitar with dubious proficiency. Some of them are funny, some of them are depressing. It's a magical mood lottery!
