Stand Up
[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
I'm talking to you
Stand up, stand up, stand up

[Verse 2]
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, no, no

[Pre-Chorus 2]
'Cause I am stronger than the fears within me
I have a voice and I deserve to let it say
All of the joy, all of the pain around me
It's time to let me love

[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Stand up
I'm talking to you
Stand up, stand up, stand up
