For the Kids

The pressures of today Unbearable Expectations from everyone These kids don't stand a chance If they can't be themselves Friends, family, society Will judge you, and try to Stamp you for life This label now belongs to you Tell you how to act What's wrong and right And how to be Boys and girls It's all just lies You be you Don't stay in line Express yourself No matter what they say You are you Be thankful you're not the same Defy the system Challenge the status quo Ignore the doubts Carve your own path It's time to make history Obstacles along the way False illusions Everyone trying to influence Obey obey obey People fear what they don't understand Sparking courage from deep within I can only hope When the world turns its back And your friends disappear I will be here With open arms This love is eternal Be yourself Discover who you are Push through and be proud
