You claim you know what's best
   You don't know what's best
   We want to be free
You push the knife deeper... The mark is red
   The knife touches my throat
    I am not allowed to speak
    I am not able to speak
    I am afraid to speak
    We want to be free
You push the knife deeper... One red drop
    I am 6 I want to be a dancer
    I am 8 I want to be an astronaut
    I am 12 I want to be a doctor
    I am 14 I  don't want to die
    We want to be free
You push the knife deeper... Two red drops
    Why? What did I do?
    Let me speak
    Let me sing
    Let me shout
    We want to be free
You push the knife deeper... Three red drops
    I have red inside
    Just like you
    I have a
     Mother
     Father
     Brother
     Sister
     Friend
     Boyfriend
     Girlfriend
     Husband
     Wife
     Son
     Daughter
     Just like you we want to be free
You push the knife deeper... Four red drops
     Am sorry I will not suck it up
     I will shout until someone hears me
     I will speak the truth
     We want to be free
And you push the knife deeper and it hurts
     I will kick and cry
And you push the knife deeper on the person I love
     I will eat your hand
     I will bite the skin out of your body if you touch them
And you will drop the knife
     I will not be silenced
    We will not be silenced
     We want to be free
     We will not be silenced
