whatever it takes - life, voice, action, change lyrics

it seems today, and it is so sad to say,
people and their differences
build up like brick walls...

whether color of skin,
or sexual preference of a human,
one can only take so much...

so i raise my voice in anger, and i raise my voice in disgust...

[chorus x2:]
it takes life for this to begin
we raise our voice raise up and sing in,
we raise in action,
to bring change.

whether color of skin,
or sexual preference of a human,
one can only take so much...

so i raise my fist in anger! and i raise my fist in disgust!

[chorus x2]

i'm not wasting my time,
with bullshit and lies.
you're talking too much
i'm not wasting my time on you!

so i raise my voice, so i raise my voice!
and i raise my fist, and i raise my fist!
i'll see you, i'll see you.
