Someday I’m going to learn to speak up!
I swear I’m going to proudly reach up
And take back what is truly mine
And that day will be fine.
Someday I’m going to tell all the people
What I think that the bad people
Should not be allowed to do
Like commit crimes on you.
I’m going to let people know exactly how I feel
And not silently pretend things aren’t real
That are hurting, denying, robbing
My fellow human beings.
Today I am going to change things
And appreciate what life brings.
Listen when the birds sing.
And what poets are writing.
Someday I am going to raise my voice and sing out
Whenever there’s something to sing about
Even when there just seems to be
Something important to me.
