Lighten up, little one
Just because he can't see your beauty,
Doesn't mean you have none

Lighten up, little one
As the sun starts to set,
Keep in mind when the stars have met

Stand up and continue to dance
To the changing colors of the horizon,
To the sound of silence that's upon

Lighten up, little one
Remember what you deserve
Remember who you are

You are stronger than this
Wiser than this
You are made to be loved
Not to be dissed

You are better than this
How can you be okay with this?

You deserve nothing but understanding
You deserve hugs each time you cry
You deserve all that you're not getting
But please tell me why

You deserve light even in darkness
You deserve songs of love in the cold
You deserve all the world's happiness
Little one, now's the time to be bold

Lighten up, little one
Now's the time to fly
Go ahead little one
Stop settling with just getting by
Go ahead little one
Go and give life a try
