when you've finally thrown up your hands

poured your heart out, yet nothing stands

it seems our efforts are wasted

but yet it hasn't been in vain



unfulfillment is killing you

seems like no one shares the same view

we may have never met but

it might be you who pulls me through



stand up so i can see you

shout out so i can hear you

reach out so i can touch you

this is our emergency

this is our emergency

this is our emergency



baby you don't have to be

a picture in a magazine

sometimes you're too blind to see

anything objectively

just keep on doing your thing right now



listen here take it from me

we're gonna go it differently

they'll follow when you start the lead

strength in numbers is our key

keep on doing your thing you do now



don't forget that when you doubt

that anyone will care about

a thing you do and when you're lost

someone else is always found

a thousand voices, are you listening?



the tiny spark that you create

it can inspire and duplicate

and soon it spreads from state

to state from williamsburg to silverlake

a thousand voices, are you listening?



this is our emergency

this is our emergency



stand up so i can see you

shout out so i can hear you

reach out so i can touch you

this is our emergency



baby you don't have to be

a picture in a magazine

sometimes you're too blind to see

anything objectively

just keep on doing your thing right now



don't forget that when you doubt

that anyone will care about

a thing you do and when you're lost

someone else is always found

a thousand voices, are you listening?
