Speak Out Loud
It wasn't always
The way it is now
People have hurt him
And they don't know how
We thought they all loved him
Turns out we were wrong
All his abuse has done
Is begin to prolong
Lonely was he
For we were his crutches
We held him up
As they avoided his touches
Everywhere we carried him
The people gave him space
It was as if
He had illness on his face
But of course they were wrong
And they didn't know it
And when they found out
There was nobody to admit it
They thought they were right
We knew they were wrong
Our friend may be different
But he's still strong
And now that it's clear
That nobody will question
He walks with head high
And sees past their recession
He knows that he's different
Let alone accepted
But he embraces that fact
And does not as expected
He won't do as you say
Now a mind of his own
He'll stand up for himself
And he won't be alone
For we're by his side
Through all the thick and thin
We'll stick by his side
Just like we've always been
We may be just girls
But we've got the power
To send you away
In less than an hour
So next time you decide
To mess with our friend
You may want to stop
And think over that again
'Cause now he's quite loved
And very respected
He's seen as the best
Cool, calm and collected
They all want his friendship
But he can easily tell
The ones who were there
And the ones who quickly fell
He's still strong and proud
Away from the traitors
And he's now seen as
The proud creator
For he was the one
That started it all
There's no more like him
That feel as small
But now he's gone
He's happy and proud
And he's still known as the one
Who made his successors speak out loud
