Keep Standing Tall
This is for all the forgotten dreams, crushed by reality
 This is for all the tears you cry silently
 This is for all the goals that were never reached
 This is for all the laughs that never came out
 For the girls and boys who are pushed down
 Keep standing tall
 This is for everyone who's ever lied to their family
 For the girls who wear too much makeup
 For the boys who are never accepted
 For the people who put on a fake smile everyday
 Keep standing tall
 This is for the lawyer who wants to be a baker but needs to pay the bills
 This is for the single mother holding down three jobs to bring up her kids
 This is for the fathers who wait for their daughters to come home
 This is for anyone who has ever stressed about a test
 For the people who give all they got
 Keep standing tall
 This is for all the people who have skipped a meal
 For the girl who dreams of being beautiful
 For the boy who never finds love
 For the people who are invisible
 Keep standing tall
 Never let the criticism of others weigh you down
 Reach for the glowing stars, for the round moon
 Jump for your dreams, even if they're different
 Sing until your voice is strained and you can barely speak
 Play the music that makes you happy
 Dance to the rhythm of your own heartbeat
 Push yourself to be the best you can
 Never sit by and watch life pass you 
 Always go for what makes you who you are
