Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ash on the schoolyard
Names on the wall
Little shoes waiting
Beside the hall
I know your mother
Still sets a plate
Says your chair's empty
It won't be late
[Pre-Chorus]
So I won't go quiet
I won't look away
If they say forget it
I'll say their names today
And the ground remembers
Every breath you gave
Every small bright heartbeat
They tried to save
[Chorus]
Speak louder for the innocent dead
Speak louder, lift them up instead
Speak louder, let the whole world hear
Their names still ring, they're right here
Speak louder for the innocent dead
(hear them rise)
Speak louder, lift them up instead
(hear them rise)
[Verse 2]
A candle in the window
A ribbon on the gate
Hands on a poster
Too heavy with the weight
No one gets to bury
Truth under dust
We carry their stories
Because we must
[Pre-Chorus]
So I won't go quiet
I won't look away
If they say forget it
I'll say their names today
And the ground remembers
Every breath you gave
Every small bright heartbeat
They tried to save
[Chorus]
Speak louder for the innocent dead
Speak louder, lift them up instead
Speak louder, let the whole world hear
Their names still ring, they're right here
Speak louder for the innocent dead
(hear them rise)
Speak louder, lift them up instead
(hear them rise)
[Bridge]
Stand up, stand up
From the ache and the rain
Stand up, stand up
Let the whole truth remain
We are the hands now
We are the flame
We are the choir
That carries the name
[Final Chorus]
Speak louder for the innocent dead
Speak louder, lift them up instead
Speak louder, let the whole world hear
Their names still ring, they're right here
Speak louder for the innocent dead
(hear them rise)
Speak louder, lift them up instead
(hear them rise)
