(the musical Tick Tick Boom's 'Louder Than Words')

Uryu:
Why do we play with fire?
Why do we run our finger through the flame?
Why do we leave our hand on the stove,
Although we know, we're in for some pain?

Oh, why do we refuse to hang a light,
When the streets are dangerous?
Why does it take an accident,
Before the truth gets through to us?

Cages or wings
Which do you prefer?
Ask the birds.

Fear or love, baby
Don't say the answer!
Actions speak louder than words!

Why should we try to be our best
When we can just get by and still gain?
Why do we nod our heads-

Chad and Uryu:
Although we know-

Chad:
The teacher is wrong as rain?

Uryu:
Why should we blaze a trail
When the well worn path

Seems safe and-

Uryu and Orihime:
So inviting?

Orihime:
How, as we travel, can we-

Uryu and Orihime:
See the dismay
And keep from fighting?

Uryu, Chad, and Orihime:
Cages or wings,

Cages or wings,
Which do you prefer?
Ask the birds

Ah!

ALL:
Fear or love, baby
Don't say the answer!

Uryu, Chad, and Orihime:

Actions speak louder than

Louder than, louder than:
Words!

What does it take
To wake up a generation?

ALL:
How can you make someone
Take off and fly?

Uryu:
If we don't wake up
And shake up the nation.
We'll eat the dust
Of the world wondering why!

Orihime:
Why do we keep fighting hollows-

Orihime and Uryu:
When we know, down deep-

Orihime:
There are more?

Uryu:
Why would we -

ALL:
Put ourselves through hell
Just to evening the score?

Uryu:
Why do we follow believers who never believe in themself?

Chad:
Why does it take catastrophe to start a revolution?

Chad and Orihime:
If we're so free?
Tell me why-

Uryu:
Someone tell me why
So many souls bleed?

Uryu, Chad, and Orihime:
Cages or wings,

Cages or wings,
Which do you prefer?
Ask the birds

Ah!

ALL:
Fear or love, baby
Don't say the answer!

Uryu, Chad, and Orihime:
Actions speak louder than

Louder than,

Louder than,
Louder than,

Louder than

ALL:
Cages or wings,
Which do you prefer?

Uryu, Chad, and Orihime:
Ask the birds

Ah!

ALL:
Fear or love, baby
Don't say the answer!

Uryu, Chad, and Orihime:
Actions speak louder

Louder than,

Louder than
They speak louder

Louder than,

Louder than
Actions speak louder than words!
