Stand Tall

[Verse 1]

Look...
Life can be unfair, but that's how it goes
Keep ya head up, even if it steps on your toes
And know that everyday is a challenge for the soul
That rewards those who work hard with the spiritual gold
And everyday you live can be a sunny day
Beautiful weather like the times you go out to play
The sun's lit people up from London to Timbuktu
Now it'll come back around to do the same to you

But I understand that you'll have your rainy days
Days where you don't feel like going out to play
Whether the rain is merely a drizzle or a downpour
That leaves you feeling trapped on the ground floor
But just know that it's a phase you can overcome
Given time, those troubles will pop like bubblegum
Again, life can be hard, but give it your all
If you're in a bad place, just remember to stand tall

[Hook]

If you feel as though the world isn't treating you fair
And those around you aren't giving you care
Just remember that you gotta give it your all
So you gotta keep your head up and stand tall
(X2)

[Verse 2]

This for the people trapped in the corners
The people who were pushed to their borders
The people who wish to be sweet like apples
But turn sour due to emotional shrapnel
The world can be a scary place, that I understand
But it's those who fight through that get the upper hand
The world does need change, that's no lie
But it won't change if we just sit, sulk and cry

United, we can make something out of nothing
This is the truth and I'm far from bluffing
I've been down before, I've been disheartened too
But remember this: every change starts with you
Occasionally, you will slip up like a hiccup
But what's worst to do: to fail or to give up?
'Cause winners are not those fail and hit the grit
But those people who keep trying and never quit

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

You can do anything in this world
Doesn't matter whether you're a boy or girl
'Cause there's no limit to what you can imagine
On this planet, pretty much anything can happen
Both good and bad, which you'll get's a gamble
Just be ready for whatever life gives you to handle
Keep in mind, life won’t be pleasant all the time
But once you push through, then you’ll want to shine

Whether you’re at school or working 9 to 5
There’s many different ways you can feel alive
And when life makes you feel so unpure
Just keep ya head up like Tupac Shakur
‘Cause even the most blackest berry
Can shine bright In The Summertime, Mungo Jerry
And nobody should go through life feeling small
So keep ya head up, look to the sky and stand tall!

[Hook]
