Lyrics
[verse - male]
Rows of desks and rows of grey
Same old lesson, same old way
Voices told to sit and stay quiet
Nobody asking, nobody buy it
[verse - female]
Chalk on boards and rules on walls
Marching orders down the halls
Nobody sees the ones who dream
Painted over by the system's scheme
[chorus]
Not another wall to keep me small
Not another silence down the hall
Let my thinking find its own true way
Give my colors room to stay
[verse - male]
Teacher, teacher, look at me
There's a spark you cannot see
Don't just measure, don't just grade
Let the color of my thoughts be made
[chorus]
Not another wall to keep me small
Not another silence down the hall
Let my thinking find its own true way
Give my colors room to stay
[bridge]
Children singing, breaking free
From the sameness, wild and free
Every voice deserves a chance
Not just orders, not just stance
[chorus]
Not another wall to keep me small
Not another silence down the hall
Let my thinking find its own true way
Give my colors room to stay
