Stand Up


Hey little child, why so sad?
Did someone make you feel bad?
Picking on you because of your looks
Or just because you’re better than them?

Don’t listen to what they say
You can try to ignore what they gotta say
But it’s better to take a stand than running away
Go on. Prove them there’s more than what they say

It’s alright
I’ll be by your side
I won’t let them hurt you
So go on. Show them what you can do
