Quietly the radical
Quietly traditional
Why won't he speak up?
Speak a little bit louder
Speak up
Speak a little bit louder
Give up just a touch of thunder
It's three o'clock in the afternoon
The same dull light through the same dull window
Yes but he's drinking wine alone in some apartment
Having a ball
He's whispering a melody
A stillborn symphony
Cause he won't speak up
Speak a little bit louder
Speak up
Speak a little bit louder
Give up just a touch of thunder
He's thinking always of the times
When people heard him clear
Instead of unconditional love
In their judge and jury eyes
They pitied him they pitied him
They pity him still
It's quite a game if you play the rules
But this gaunt contender
Sings that he doesn't trust a soul
Who isn't paralyzed with doubt
And what kind of strategy is that
When the field is full of play
Still he won't speak up
Speak a little bit louder
Speak up
Speak up just a little bit louder
Give up just a touch of thunder
Maybe I have missed the mark
Would he trust me? I don't care
He's just a fragment – that's all he is
He's just a fragment – he's part of a whole
And quietly the radical
Quietly traditional
He won't speak up
Speak a little bit louder
Speak up
Speak a little bit louder
Give up just a touch of thunder
He's thinking always of the times
When people heard him clear
Instead of unconditional love
In their judge and jury eyes
They pitied him they pitied him
They pity him still
