Be Heard
Verse 1
You are much stronger than they thought you could ever be
You have your convictions
And you're not afraid to act upon them
You are much smarter than they thought you could ever be
You have rights and freedoms
And you're not afraid to keep them intact
You are a citizen of this city, of this state
Of this nation, of this world
You should express your opinions in ways that you see fit
Verse 2
Some people believe that you can only fight fire with fire
Does that mean we should resort to violence to eradicate it?
There are many other ways of getting messages across
Boycotts and protests are a few of those ways
You don't have to be the smartest person in the world
Or the richest either to take action
You need courage, determination, knowledge and support
Bridge 1
You have the right not to care about anybody but yourself
But the implications of doing so run far too deep and too long
Bridge 2
Fight against hate, fight against lies
Stand up for what you believe in
Chorus
Be heard
Stand up for what you believe in
No one can hear silence
Fight against hate, fight against lies
Use yourself as an instrument for good
