Oh, darlin', don't you fear
Gotta stand up, make it clear
You got a voice, it's time to use
No more hiding, all the abuse
Don't let them take away your light
You got the power, you got the right
Don't you let them silence you
Gotta speak up, see it through
You are your own defender
Don't you dare surrender
Rise up and take the lead
Show 'em what you truly need
Oh, I know it ain't easy
But you gotta be strong, believe me
Gotta fight for what's right
And keep on shining bright
You are your own defender
Don't you dare surrender
Speak your truth and be free
Cause you got the key, can't you see?
No more staying in the shadows
Gotta stand up and face those
Who try to bring you down
Spread your wings and fly, don't be bound
You are your own defender
Don't you dare surrender
Rise up, take that stand
And show 'em who's in command.
