I called myself my dear
Saw my eyes so clear
Time to face the day
In a brand new way
Shield up against the hate
Don't take on their weight
March to our own drum
Here respect will come
Yeah we learn to respect ourselves
No more putting us on shelves
Hold our heads up high
Touch the sky
Respect begins inside
Smile through the trials
Walk those extra miles
Know what we are worth
Celebrate our birth
Voices in the night
But we'll fight the fright
Stand firm in who we are
We'll shine like a star
Yeah we learn to respect ourselves
No more putting us on shelves
Hold our heads up high
Touch the sky
Respect begins inside
