You should Stand happy
You should Stand tall
You should Stand exquisitely
You should Stand, you shouldn't fall
You should stand, maybe zoned
As for me? I stand alone
Not by choice
Not by no words
But only by what people "heard"
I'm breaking now
I'm shaking too
I'm an animal trapped in a zoo
I'm locked in a cage, no one knows about me
All they know is what they hear, not see
Everyone's heard
Now my moms heard it all
Now tell me please, how do I stand tall?
