Hey, you, little boy who's hiding in the shadow
I'm here to say you're not alone
I hear the special song that swirling inside you
More colorful than anything this dusty world has known
So, sing it to me, sing it clear, sing it loud
I cheer you just for being yourself
The world doesn't know yet it's gonna be wowed
When your music will take it and wake and shake it and make it dance!
Rise up, don't let anyone stop it
Rise up, stand tall and shout it
Your voice is so pure and full of love
And that's all we need so just
Rise up, rise up and sing
They'll try to silence you and make you wonder
If maybe you are wrong and not allowed
But please remember when you hear the thunder
To sing and spring will vanquish every stormy cloud
You're one of a kind, a unique piece of art
One day they'll get what you're trying to say
Your melody's great and the lyrics are smart
Just not written in rhymes, that's alright…
Rise up, don't let anyone stop it
Rise up, stand tall and shout it
Your voice is so pure and full of love
And that's all we need so just
Rise up, rise up and sing
Hey, you, little boy who's hiding in the shadow
I hope you feel better now
