Emma Stephenson, Liam Budge - Ode to Free Speech Lyrics

Lonely in the middle Somewhere half between
The shadow and the light Somewhere in the middle
In between the extremes Feeling wrong and alright

I'm lonely in the middle When the world has teams
And everyone picks a side Wake me up
When it's over Oh won't somebody Please take over this fight?

I want a conversation
I want all the songs
And speeches to be heard But reason fails emotion
It's not black and white Why can't we fight with words?

Yet somehow fear is blinding And binding too
As we gather to shout
But all the bleaching and the grinding Will not scrub our demons out
All the bleaching and the grinding Will not scrub our demons out
