Speak Out Loud
It wasn't always 
 The way it is now
 People have hurt him
 And they don't know how
 
 We thought they all loved him
 Turns out we were wrong
 All his abuse has done
 Is begin to prolong
 
 Lonely was he
 For we were his crutches
 We held him up
 As they avoided his touches
 
 Everywhere we carried him
 The people gave him space
 It was as if
 He had illness on his face
 
 But of course they were wrong
 And they didn't know it
 And when they found out
 There was nobody to admit it
 
 They thought they were right
 We knew they were wrong
 Our friend may be different
 But he's still strong
 
 And now that it's clear
 That nobody will question 
 He walks with head high
 And sees past their recession
 
 He knows that he's different
 Let alone accepted
 But he embraces that fact
 And does not as expected
 
 He won't do as you say
 Now a mind of his own
 He'll stand up for himself
 And he won't be alone
 
 For we're by his side
 Through all the thick and thin
 We'll stick by his side
 Just like we've always been
 
 We may be just girls
 But we've got the power
 To send you away
 In less than an hour
 
 So next time you decide
 To mess with our friend
 You may want to stop
 And think over that again
 
 'Cause now he's quite loved
 And very respected
 He's seen as the best
 Cool, calm and collected
 
 They all want his friendship
 But he can easily tell
 The ones who were there
 And the ones who quickly fell
 
 He's still strong and proud
 Away from the traitors
 And he's now seen as
 The proud creator
 
 For he was the one
 That started it all
 There's no more like him
 That feel as small
 
 But now he's gone
 He's happy and proud
 And he's still known as the one
 Who made his successors speak out loud
