Who is to say that you can’t rule the world?
The most feared teen is one with a voice.
One who can stand confident with hair curled,
And be self-reliant in every choice.

Even if you dream in sugar and not spice,
Stand up, let every thought you have be heard.
Don’t get stuck in a fake fool’s paradise.
Don’t conform to standards, be a firebird.

People will try to extinguish your flame.
You have to find the will to keep burning.
Do not let them threaten you with any shame.
Make them question all they have been learning.

Stand like a tree and make your voice reach skies.
Be the entire world’s angel in disguise.
