Description
Strong as fresh air after a storm, this track smells of honesty and pine needles. There is no room for hints or half-hearted confessions here - every word sounds as if it is being shouted from the top of a hill, with the echo carrying further than one would like. The voice conveys the determination of a person who has finally stopped hiding their feelings and holding back the truth, even if it stings like gravel under bare feet.
This is not about grandiose heroism, but about a quiet yet persistent choice: to speak, to love, to apologise, to pray - and to do so aloud, until the very end. The music thunders like footsteps on an old porch, leaving behind a sense of calm: everything has been said, everything has been lived, nothing has been locked away.
Lyrics and translation
Original
I hid my heart on my sleeve
I've felt that weight on my back
I wondered who I should be
I tried to run from my past
Held my tongue, played the game
Kept one foot out of the flame
No, not this time
It's 'bout time I speak my mind
I ain't gonna leave a prayer left unprayed
I'ma let it all off my chest
Gonna stand tall on what I say
'Til I'm down to my last breath
When they lay me in that Georgia clay
And that pine wood box is closin'
One thing that they'll all know is
I didn't leave a word unspoken, unspoken
Unspoken
Every "I love you," every "I'm sorry"
Ain't gonna go unheard
What I'm gonna do is I'ma tеll the truth
Hell, even if it hurts
I'ma climb that mountain
Look out below, I'ma get to shoutin'
Even when I can't find the words
Yeah, I'ma search until I found 'em
Ain't no doubt
I ain't gonna leave a prayer left unprayed
I'ma let it all off my chest
Gonna stand tall on what I say
'Til I'm down on my last breath
When they lay me in that Georgia clay
And that pine wood box is closin'
One thing that they'll all know is
I didn't leave a word unspoken, unspoken
Unspoken
Yeah, I ain't gonna hide the way I feel
And live my life like I ain't scared to die on that hill
'Cause I'll die on that hill
I ain't gonna leave a prayer left unprayed
I'ma let it all off my chest
Gonna stand tall on what I say
'Til I'm down on my last breath
When they lay me in that Georgia clay
And that pine wood box is closin'
One thing that they'll all know is
I didn't leave a word unspoken, unspoken
Unspoken
