Keep Standing Tall
This is for all the forgotten dreams, crushed by reality
This is for all the tears you cry silently
This is for all the goals that were never reached
This is for all the laughs that never came out
For the girls and boys who are pushed down
Keep standing tall
This is for everyone who's ever lied to their family
For the girls who wear too much makeup
For the boys who are never accepted
For the people who put on a fake smile everyday
Keep standing tall
This is for the lawyer who wants to be a baker but needs to pay the bills
This is for the single mother holding down three jobs to bring up her kids
This is for the fathers who wait for their daughters to come home
This is for anyone who has ever stressed about a test
For the people who give all they got
Keep standing tall
This is for all the people who have skipped a meal
For the girl who dreams of being beautiful
For the boy who never finds love
For the people who are invisible
Keep standing tall
Never let the criticism of others weigh you down
Reach for the glowing stars, for the round moon
Jump for your dreams, even if they're different
Sing until your voice is strained and you can barely speak
Play the music that makes you happy
Dance to the rhythm of your own heartbeat
Push yourself to be the best you can
Never sit by and watch life pass you
Always go for what makes you who you are
