    • We have the chance to turn the pages over
      We can write what we want to write
      We gotta make ends meet, before we get much older

      We're all someone's daughter
      We're all someone's son
      How long can we look at each other
      Down the barrel of a gun?

      You're the voice, try and understand it
      Make a noise and make it clear
      Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo
      We're not gonna sit in silence
      We're not gonna live with fear
      Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo
