Somedays, I find it hard to breath
It's like the walls are closing in on me
Somedays, I feel all alone
It's like I'm knockin' on the door but no one's home
It starts with the silence but I hear it screamin' loud
Let go of the fears that are holdin' us down
It starts with a whisper but it turns into a roar

My heart starts to listen when my voice starts to soar
I speak up
No longer hiding in the shadows
I speak up
I am perfect, from my head down to my toes
No one can knock me down
I stand and face the crowd when I speak out
I'm not alone anymore
I was always so quiet

I used to be so easy to ignore
You said that I am worth it
Find the girl within your soul worth fighting for
It starts with a silence but I hear it screaming loud
Let go of the fear that is holdin' us down
It starts with a whisper but it turns into a roar

My heart starts to listen when my voice starts to soar
I speak up
No longer hiding in the shadows
I speak up
I am perfect, from my head down to my toes
No one can knock me down
I stand and face the crowd when I speak out
I'm not alone anymore
Silence had a hold, a hold on me
But I'm not who I used to be
Cause even in my doubs I still believe

Fear won't take this force from me (oh)
Fear won't take this force from me (oh)
I speak up
(Oh) (oh) I speak up
(Oh) I speak up (oh) (oh)
I speak up

No longer hiding in the shadows
I speak up
I am perfect, from my head down to my toes
No one can knock me down
I stand and face the crowd when I speak out
