Don’t tell me not to go
Don’t tell me not to try
Don’t say that when I jump
I will never reach the sky

Don’t tell me I am weak
Don’t tell me I am wrong
Do not put me down
Because you know that I am strong

Do not make me silent
Because I’ll just raise my voice
In everything I do
You know that it’s my choice

Don’t say that I am captured
Because I fight to be free
Don’t tell me I am different
I am just simply me
