[English]

You, you're the one who said

Make a stand, make a change

You, you're the one who said

Open your eyes, make us see

You, you're the one who said

Live a lie, run and hide

You, you're the one who said

Never mind, you're not ready

You, you're the one who said

Make a stand, make a change

You, you're the one who said

Open your eyes, make us see

You, you're the one who said

Live a lie, run and hide

You, you're the one who said

Never mind, you're not ready

You, you're the one who said

Make a stand, make a change

You, you're the one who said

Open your eyes, make us see

You, you're the one who said

Live a lie, run and hide

You, you're the one who said

Never mind, you're not ready
