HERE COMES A WAVE
MEANT TO WASH ME AWAY
A TIDE THAT IS TAKING ME UNDER
SWALLOWING SAND
LEFT WITH NOTHING TO SAY
MY VOICE DROWNED OUT IN THE THUNDER
BUT I WON'T CRY
AND I WON'T START TO CRUMBLE
WHENEVER THEY TRY
TO SHUT ME OR CUT ME DOWN
I WON'T BE SILENCED
YOU CAN'T KEEP ME QUIET
WON'T TREMBLE WHEN YOU TRY IT
ALL I KNOW IS I WON'T GO SPEECHLESS
'CAUSE I'LL BREATHE
WHEN THEY TRY TO SUFFOCATE ME
DON'T YOU UNDERESTIMATE ME
'CAUSE I KNOW THAT I WON'T GO SPEECHLESS
WRITTEN IN STONE
EVERY RULE, EVERY WORD
CENTURIES OLD AND UNBENDING
STAY IN YOUR PLACE
BETTER SEEN AND NOT HEARD
BUT NOW THAT STORY IS ENDING
'CAUSE I
I CANNOT START TO CRUMBLE
SO COME ON AND TRY
TRY TO SHUT ME AND CUT ME DOWN
I WON'T BE SILENCED
YOU CAN'T KEEP ME QUIET
WON'T TREMBLE WHEN YOU TRY IT
ALL I KNOW IS I WON'T GO SPEECHLESS
SPEECHLESS
LET THE STORM IN
I CANNOT BE BROKEN
NO, I WON'T LIVE UNSPOKEN
'CAUSE I KNOW THAT I WON'T GO SPEECHLESS
TRY TO LOCK ME IN THIS CAGE
I WON'T JUST LAY ME DOWN AND DIE
I WILL TAKE THESE BROKEN WINGS
AND WATCH ME BURN ACROSS THE SKY
AND IT ECHOES SAYING I
WON'T BE SILENCED
NO YOU WILL NOT SEE ME TREMBLE WHEN YOU TRY IT
ALL I KNOW IS I WON'T GO SPEECHLESS
SPEECHLESS
'CAUSE I'LL BREATHE
WHEN THEY TRY TO SUFFOCATE ME
DON'T YOU UNDERESTIMATE ME
'CAUSE I KNOW THAT I WON'T GO SPEECHLESS
ALL I KNOW IS I WON'T GO SPEECHLESS
SPEECHLESS

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a King
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen
