The bullies came and called her names, they took her voice away
They told her to cut and go die, said they didn't want to see her the next day
So quiet she became, didn't say a single word
Sat in the back, humming her songs like a depressed little bird
She had such a strong voice, she'd bring the stage down
So they shut her up before their world came crashing down
But baby you gotta stand up, stand up up up
Don't let them drag you down, you can't let them steal your crown
Don't go silent, they'll still abuse you
Yes, I know from experience this is true
You gotta stand up, stand up up up
Humming the same song loud on repeat
Doesn't pay attention, just stares at her drawing sheet
She ignores the teaches and doesn't listen to the bullies
But she's silent and small
She's almost shaking with fear as she passes them when she walks down the hall
It's the death of a warrior, sad that no one could have saved her
No one said it was easy, easy to fight off all the demons
No one said we'd win, we'd win the war again depression
Don't cry, don't show them your tears
Don't shake, don't show them your fears
You got this babe and I swear to God you'll survive another day
But baby you gotta stand up, stand up up up
Don't let them drag you down, you can't let them steal your crown
Don't go silent, they'll still abuse you
Yes, I know from experience this is true
You gotta stand up, stand up up up
"The pain will stop if I go away"
But the good people here will miss you either way
"No one would care if I died, don't you say?"
People would be crying over your grave
"Maybe if I just stop trying..."
Baby you gotta fight this! This is my world too, you need to stop lying!
So baby, stand up and smile
Show them that they can't beat you down
So baby, stand up and smile
Show them they beat you down
OoooOoo
But baby you gotta stand up, stand up up up
Don't let them drag you down, you can't let them steal your crown
Don't go silent, they'll still abuse you
Yes, I know from experience this is true
You gotta stand up, stand up up up
