Quiet
This ballad, written by NYC theater composer Jonathan Reid Gealt and recorded by Natalie Weiss, tells the story of how meekness can keep you quiet, and how eventually frustration overcomes fear and compels a quiet person to finally speak out. It showcases a technically impressive soprano feature during the introduction and ending of the arrangement.

What's the perfect balance Between yelling too much Or not yelling enough So that people don't walk over you? Is it a crime to just want to be nice? To avoid confrontation And show everyone a little respect? Time after time I find that I'm struggling To tell you What's burning inside A glimmer of hope That you'll finally see Yet I remain quiet Look at my face Don't you dare turn away 'Cause I'm losing my patience Show me now you're the man That I want to be with For the rest of my life I have so much love to give you Just open up your eyes And you'll see Time after time I find that I'm struggling To tell you What's burning inside A glimmer of hope That you'll finally see Yet I remain quiet I can't remain quiet anymore No I was not built To idly stand here Letting you make my decisions Based upon your point of view You never allowed me My own freedom Well hear me now! Show me you're the man That I want to be with For the rest of my life I have so much love to give you Just open up your eyes And you'll see Time after time I find that I'm struggling To tell you what's burning inside A glimmer of hope That you'll finally see Still I can't remain quiet (Natalie Weiss, Jonathan Reid Gealt)
