Standup

Hey girl!
Don't be scared
Standup and face your fears
There's always going to be monsters in the closet
Or creepy things under the bed
Things that you will dread.


Hey girl!
Don't be scared
Standup and face your fears
There's always going to be people who criticise you
Put you down and demean you
Things that will make you blue.


Hey girl!
Don't be scared
Standup and face your fears
There's always going to be perverts who debase you
Degrade and dishonour you
Things that will turn your life askew.


Hey girl!
Don't be scared
Standup and face your fears
Unleash the power inside you
Silence all those who try to hurt you
And earn the respect that you are due.

Eyes, You have a language of your own Through it all feelings are made known You touch people more than words ever could You are our confidant when we are solitary and alone.

The tunes of his flute Drfting through my window Uplifts my spirit Takes away my distraught Makes me ready to face the world. I run to the window to see him pass As everyday I am surprised to see His thin, old body Weary and bent But his face aglow with the music he plays.
