My Voice

I am not throwing away my voice I am not throwing away my voice And no I'm not keepin' quiet I defied the stream of silence And I'm not throwing away my voice You don't wanna hear it but I wrote some lyrics I know it started with our fear of turning into Niriks But when we gave up all our feelings we just lost our spirits And I'm sick of awkwardly moving my hooves Just to ask to pass the syrup I'm the one you know and love The only Autumn Blaze I wrote your favorite plays And the daily paper most days We used to always greet each other here in this town Through the smiles and the frowns, the ups and downs But one day a lousy mood became a fiery dispute And then a cataclysmic feud and so we put ourselves on mute So rude attitudes wouldn't ruin things again A ludicrous idea, let me tell you why, my friends I am the Autumn B-L-A-Z-E And Kirin, we're in a catastrophe Of apathy controlling us constantly All thanks to Rain Shine's asinine policy In summary, we've doomed our society Into a voiceless emotionless eternity We all thought it solved the problem, but actually It only leads to spiritual atrophy And just think about our posterity With no lullabies or stories when they go to sleep When they grow up they're gonna be incomplete But can't you see, this isn't how it has to be 'Cause I am not throwing away my voice I am not throwing away my voice And no I'm not keepin' quiet I defied the stream of silence And I'm not throwing away my voice I am not throwing away my voice I am not throwing away my voice And no I'm not keepin' quiet I defied the stream of silence And I'm not throwing away my voice It's time to make a choice I dream of life where we all talk again And don't worry 'bout getting mad at all your friends Before you go off on them, stop and get some oxygen By taking a walk and then countin' to ten You gotta use your voice My name is Jonathan Towel I love all your consonants and all of your vowels But now I'm super sad 'cause nothing gets spoken I'm really really hopin' that maybe you'll open up and use your voice And you will never be truly free Until those in bondage have the same rights as you and me-- Wait a minute-- That's not right... Oh, huh! You know what I did? I actually mixed that up with another play that I'm writing right now... Oh, my gosh. I am sorry. That's embarrassing. Let me just- Let me just find my spot here real quick... It's like a really cool play, though. Like, I don't wanna spoil it But it'll be epic, dramatic and super historic Anyway, wrong play. That mistake was enormous... Oh what the hay, let's just go back to the chorus I am not throwing away my voice I am not throwing away my voice And no I'm not keepin' quiet I defied the stream of silence And I'm not throwing away my voice I am not throwing away my voice I am not throwing away my voice And no I'm not keepin' quiet I defied the stream of silence And I'm not throwing away my voice Everykirin sing! Whoa, oh, oh, oh oh Whoa-hohhhhhh Whoa-hohhhhhh, yeah Whoa, oh, oh, oh, no No! No, please don't go No no no Stop, sit, stay. Good Kirin. Speak up Tell your brother that he's gotta speak up Tell your sister that she's gotta speak up Tell all your nonbinary friends they gotta speak up When are we finally gonna speak up? When are we finally gonna speak up? When are we finally gonna speak up? When are we finally gonna speak up? Speak up I know you're mad I tricked you into another musical But for all of you to pull that stunt to make our vocal cords unusable was inexcusable, I think it's irrefutable that life with speech was much more beautiful Recall the ancient stories Aurora taught us And Rain Shine, your angelic singing was flawless And I know you were there when Fern Flare made that joke about the llamas And Summer Spark, girl, you're an auctioneering goddess Introverted, extroverted, quiet or loud Communication is what every relationship's about Even that little, "hiya, seeya, thank you, please" Or just a simple "gesundheit" when we sneeze These memories and many more Don't they all remind you of that lovely time before? I'm sorta running low on the plant that's got the cure But I'm sure with your help and support we'll find some more We've turned our dread and fear into this situation we're in But I know the skies are clearin', the sun is reappearin' It's a brand new atmosphere and we'll be talkin', singin', cheerin' I'll spread my message near and far to every Kirin here and Guys, it's finally time we realize That all our feelings inside are just fine 'cause they define us and they keep us alive We shouldn't give up our laughter 'cause we're scared of some pain You'll never see a rainbow if you never let it rain And I am not throwing away my voice I am not throwing away my voice And no I'm not keepin' quiet I defied the stream of silence And I'm not throwing away my voice I am not throwing away my voice I am not throwing away my voice You gotta speak up, speak up You gotta speak up, speak up You gotta speak up, speak up You gotta speak up, speak up It's time to use your voice Time to use our voice And I am not throwing away my Not throwing away my voice
