Challenge yourself with something you know you could never do, and what you’ll find is that you can overcome anything.


One day once upon a time ago
I realized something I should’ve know
Everyone has a voice
I should really learn how to use mine
So I did
I used my words
I found out
It feels great to be heard
All this time I kept it all inside
Too scared to get up and speak mind
So goodbye hiding
Cause I’m not afraid anymore
Not going to keep behind this door
I lost way too much time
Talking inside my own mind
I used to be terrified
Of what everyone might think
But not anymore
I’m louder ,I’m bigger, I’m stronger , I’m me
You finally get to see my personality
His voice, it sounds so different
You might learn something if you listen
Everyone has a life
And it’s different than yours and mind
They told him he’d never make it big
So he hid under costume and wig
Take the time
To really see him
All this time he kept them all inside
To scared to get up and speak his mind
But now goodbye silence
Cause he’s not afraid anymore
Not going to stay behind that door
He lost way too much time
Talking inside his own mind
He used to be terrified
Of what everyone might think
But not anymore
He’s louder, he’s bigger, he’s stronger, himself
You finally get to see his personality
She was silent deep in depression
Had a voice but no one would listen
She was hurt deep inside
but didn’t know how to let it out
She opened her mouth
and the words just came flowing out
All this time she kept it all inside
too scared to get up and speak her mind
So goodbye sadness
Cause she’s not afraid anymore
Not going to stay behind that door
She lost way too much time
Talking inside her own mind
She used to be terrified
Of what everyone might think
But not anymore
She’s louder, she’s bigger, she’s stronger, herself
You finally get to see her personality
Please don’t take for granted your voice
Scream out loud and rejoice
Don’t be afraid to be you
Cause you can do whatever you want to do
We’re not afraid anymore
Not going to keep behind this door
We lost way too much time
Talking inside our own minds
We used to be terrified
Of what everyone might think
But not anymore
We’re louder, we’re bigger, and we’re stronger together
You finally get to see
Our personalities
One day once upon a time ago
I realized something I should’ve know
Everyone has a voice
I should really learn how to use mine

I've changed a lot throughout the last couple years looking back. I really wanted to, i guess help other people realize they shouldn't be afraid of who they are. I'm not anymore.
