[Chorus]
Give me the right to be heard
To be seen, to be loved, to be free
To be everything I need to be me
To be safe, to believe… in something
I have a right to be heard
To be seen, to be loved, to be free
To be everything I need to be me
To be safe, to believe… in something
[Verse 1]
Father, there's a little flower
Beautiful and different
All alone… all alone
Is it so, Dad? I'm not supposed to
Make the world anew, and be like you? Am I you?
[Chorus]
Give me the gift to be heard
To be seen, to be loved, to be free
To be everything… I need to be me
To be safe, to believe… in something
I have a right to be heard
To be seen, to be loved, to be free
To be everything… I need to be me
To be safe, to believe… in something
[Post-Chorus]
Right to be heard
To be seen, to be loved, to be me
[Verse 2]
You made it clear right from the start
I am to take your sour heart within, one sad day
But I will never teach my son
Embittered history, tried and true, 'cause I'm not you
[Chorus]
I have a right to be heard
To be seen, to be loved, to be free
To be everything… I need to be me
To be safe, to believe… in something
I have a right to be heard
To be seen, to be loved, to be free
To have every gift… I need to be me
To be safe, to believe… in something
Give me the eyes so I see
Give me ears so I hear
Give me love so I know what love is
Give me the freedom to think
To believe… in something
I have a right to be heard
To be seen, to be loved, to be free
To be everything… I need to be me
To be safe, to believe… in something
[Bridge]
I have a special right to grow up
And to develop physically and spiritually in a healthy and normal way
Free, and with dignity
I have the right to love, and understanding
My parents have special responsibilities for my education and guidance
I should be taught peace
Understanding, tolerance, and friendship among all people
[Pre-Chorus]
So give me the gift to hear, to see
The love, the freedom to choose the things I feel
To be right for the world you'll leave me
Give something!
[Chorus]
Give me the right to be heard
To be seen, to be loved, to be free
To be everything… I need to be me
To be safe, to believe… in something
I have a right to be heard
To be seen, to be loved, to be free
To be everything… I need to be me
To be safe, to believe… in something
[Chorus]
Give me the right to be heard
To be seen, to be loved, to be free
To be everything… I need to be me
To be safe, to believe… in something
[Outro]
Right to be heard
To be seen, to be loved, to be free
To be everything… I need to be heard
To be seen, to be loved, to be free
To be everything… I need to be heard
To be seen, to be loved, to be free
To be everything… I need to be heard
To be seen, to be loved, to be free
To be everything… I need to be heard
