Want to tell me what you saw
What made you scared, what made you crawl
Under the covers and hide your eyes
You keep it bottled up inside
It might be better to confide
Let me discover what made you cry
What was said to seal your lips
What kind of threats what kind of tricks
What rules were broken, and how
Was there solidarity
Any plans to break free
Even unspoken, even now
Shout out, shout loud, shout now
You’re allowed, stand your ground
Stand your ground
How do you sleep
Do you have something that can help
To keep The demons at bay
Do you twist and do you turn
Do you shiver do you burn
As you count the hours away
And does the distance help
With every day and every step
That brings you further from harm
Can you take the weight
Or is the damage too great
As you try to carry on
Shout out, shout loud, shout now
You’re allowed, stand your ground
Stand your ground
I hear that speaking out is a sin
I see the bruises on the skin
Of those who dare to take a stance
You look to me and then behind
Afraid that you will find
That every kindness is a trap
Want to tell me what you saw
What made you scared, what made you crawl
Under the covers and hide your eyes
You keep it bottled up inside
It might be better to confide
Let me discover what made you cry
Shout out, shout loud, shout now
You’re allowed, stand your ground
Stand your ground
