  • Somebody's gonna wave a flag
    Somebody's going to attack
    Someone will tell you to take a side
    Tell you their version of wrong or right
    Somebody's gonna let you in
    Judged on the color of your skin
    Slam a door in the face of your friend
    Simply because you don't look like him

    And then you gotta find a way that you're walkin'
    Everybody's walkin'
    You gotta find the words to say when you're talkin'
    Everybody's talkin'

    So I built the words into a song
    I'm hopin' someone's singing along
    And even if some notes are wrong
    I'm hopin' someone's singing along

    'Cause just one voice is not enough
    I need to hear from everyone
    And even when I'm dead and gone
    I'm hopin' someone's singing along

    Somebody's gonna build a wall
    Then smash it with a cannon ball
    Someone who somehow has got a gun
    Will tell you who you can't and you can love
    Some people keeping all the cash
    They're gonna get away with that
    Just 'cause some people don't think like me
    Does that really make them the enemy?

    And then you gotta find a way that you're walkin'
    Everybody's walkin'
    You gotta find the words to say when you're talkin'
    Everybody's talkin'

    So I built the words into a song
    I'm hopin' someone's singing along
    And even if some notes are wrong
    I'm hopin' someone's singing along

    'Cause just one voice is not enough
    I need to hear from everyone
    And even when I'm dead and gone
    I'm hopin' someone's singing along

    Make a noise
    I can hear you now
    Won't you raise your voice
    Just a little louder
    Make a noise
    I can hear you now
    Won't you raise your voice
    Just a little louder

    So I built the words into a song
    I'm hopin' someone's singing along
    And even if some notes are wrong
    I'm hopin' someone's singing along

    'Cause just one voice is not enough
    I need to hear from everyone
    And even when I'm dead and gone
    I'm hopin' someone's singing along Writer/s: EMILY WARREN, JAMES BLOUNT, STEVE ROBSON
