Turn It Up

[Verse 1] Once there was a thankless leader Blinded by a golden ring Now there's no more peaceful gatherings Take me 'cross the aisle now baby Let me see how y'all get down Take a hopeful sound and make it loud [Chorus] I said, "Turn it up" When I've had enough I wanna feel the love Turn it up (Turn it up, up) [Verse 2] Once there was a paradise where a boy saw suffering He raised his voice up loud and began to sing Oh, all the people gathered 'round him He cried out a freedom song Everyone began to sing along [Chorus] Oh, he said, "Turn it up" 'Cause I've had enough I wanna feel the love Yeah, oh turn it up (Turn it up, up) [Bridge] They said, "Be quiet, little girl" but you amplified the sound Of a million broken hearts from all around You can hear the children crying It's not safe to go outside We're free but we gotta keep our kids alive Oh, y'all, we can't let 'em down [Chorus] Turn it up 'Cause I've had enough (Oh, yeah) I wanna feel the love Ah, come on, turn it up Turn it up, oh 'Cause I've had enough (turn it up, oh) I wanna feel the love Oh, yeah, turn it up Ah, turn it up, turn it up
