| As I’ve grown older I’ve seen so many changes
|
| Friends I’ve known society rearranges
|
| But don’t give in, you’ve got to stand up for your rights
|
| Just be yourself, that’s what we all do best
|
| 'cause whether male or female, black or white
|
| You’ve gotta hold your head up high
|
| Keep your goals in sight
|
| 'cause it doesn’t matter what the others think
|
| All that matters is what you feel inside
|
| Just try real hard, set your objective
|
| But just try to remember to keep it all in perspective
|
| And keep in mind this one small fact
|
| Be proud of who you are, don’t ever look back
|
| Live your life for you, make the most of what you’ve got
|
| Be proud of who you are
|
| Don’t try to be someone you’re not
|
| Open up, have a say, take pride in what you do
|
| Let yourself go free don’t be afraid of being you
|
| Stand tall — be proud — of what you are
|
| Be strong — stand up — for your rights
|
| Stand tall — be proud — of what you are
|
| Live life — for you — and no one else- stand tall |
