Stand Up

i was too scared to let people hear me

i never spoke up

i was too afraid

the days went by and i just stayed in silence

nobody knew my pain

i wasn't growing

i was dying slowly

i knew i'd never make it if i didn't change

i had to learn about the strength inside me

and throw the mask away

stand up to the ones who hurt you

stand up don't you be afraid

don't let anybody keep you silent

stand up stand up stand up

stand up for the sake of your freedom

speak up let them see your face

don't let anybody keep you silent

stand up stand up stand up

i'm talking to you

stand up stand up stand up

it's getting better every day i'm breathing

my lips may tremble

but they still will speak my mind in every trial

every changing season

i won't keep it inside

oh no no cause i am stronger than the fears within me

i have a voice and i deserve to let it sing

all of the joy all of the pain around me

it's time to let me love

stand up to the ones who hurt you

stand up don't you be afraid

don't let anybody keep you silent

stand up stand up stand up

stand up for the sake of freedom

speak up let them see your face

don't let anybody keep you silent

stand up stand up stand up stand up

i'm talking to you you

oh

stand up stand up stand up hey

and tell the truth about the way you feel

oh don't let anybody keep you silent

stand up stand up stand up

i want it i

want it

and i
