| Self Respect |
| You're by yourself and so you're lonely You won't conform, they think you're wrong Just be yourself, the one and only Because being different is being strong They cover you up with their charade They take away your needed mask They put your errors on parade They think it's such an easy task But you are strong because you are different And they are week because they won't try To see the beauty in good intentions And the darkness that comes from a lie Every day you showed them care All you got back was pain and hate Now is the time, if only you dare To become the master of your own fate They have no one to blame And no one to take the fall You stand alone and that is how You can keep standing through it all They cannot take away your dreams Or knock you to the ground Sometimes it's hard, I know it seems There's no hope left to be found You're by yourself, but don't be lonely Just start to sing your own sweet song Please be yourself, the one and only Because being you, that's being strong |
