Not Afraid Anymore
One day once upon a time ago
 I realized something I should’ve know
 Everyone has a voice
 I should really learn how to use mine
 So I did
 I used my words
 I found out
 It feels great to be heard
 All this time I kept it all inside
 Too scared to get up and speak mind
 So goodbye hiding 
 Cause I’m not afraid anymore
 Not going to keep behind this door
 I lost way too much time
 Talking inside my own mind
 I used to be terrified
 Of what everyone might think
 But not anymore
 I’m louder ,I’m bigger, I’m stronger , I’m me 
 You finally get to see my personality
  His voice, it sounds so different
 You might learn something if you listen
 Everyone has a life
 And it’s different than yours and mind
 They told him he’d never make it big
 So he hid under costume and wig
 Take the time
 To really see him
 All this time he kept them all inside
 To scared to get up and speak his mind
 But now goodbye silence
 Cause he’s not afraid anymore
 Not going to stay behind that door
 He lost way too much time
 Talking inside his own mind
 He used to be terrified
 Of what everyone might think
 But not anymore
 He’s louder, he’s bigger, he’s stronger, himself
 You finally get to see his personality
 She was silent deep in depression
 Had a voice but no one would listen
 She was hurt deep inside
 but didn’t know how to let it out
 She opened her mouth
 and the words just came flowing out
 All this time she kept it all inside
 too scared to get up and speak her mind
 So goodbye sadness
 Cause she’s not afraid anymore
 Not going to stay behind that door
 She lost way too much time
 Talking inside her own mind
 She used to be terrified
 Of what everyone might think
 But not anymore
 She’s louder, she’s bigger, she’s stronger, herself
 You finally get to see her personality
 Please don’t take for granted your voice
 Scream out loud and rejoice
 Don’t be afraid to be you 
 Cause you can do whatever you want to do
 We’re not afraid anymore
 Not going to keep behind this door
 We lost way too much time 
 Talking inside our own minds 
 We used to be terrified
    Of what everyone might think
 But not anymore
 We’re louder, we’re bigger, and we’re stronger together
 You finally get to see
 Our personalities
 One day once upon a time ago
 I realized something I should’ve know
 Everyone has a voice
 I should really learn how to use mine
