When I speak
Do you even hear a word I say
Or does it not matter in that way
'Cause I'm ten
Or just because I'm young
It doesn't mean I don't mean what I say
It hurts when you look the other way

Hear my roar, hear my thunder
My heart is beating louder, louder
Louder

Are you hearing me
I want you to hear me, I need you to see me
You look at me but see right through me
Will you ever see, will you ever see me
I just wanna be, I just wanna be seen

When I cry
Do you even feel my pain inside
Or doesn't that even seem to try
'Cause I'm a child

Hear my roar, hear my thunder
My heart is beating louder, louder
Louder

Are you hearing me
I want you to hear me, I need you to see me
You look at me but see right through me
Will you ever see, will you ever see me
I just wanna be, I just wanna be seen

See, woah, I'm only ten
I still need you to feel me
I need you to protect me
I need you to guide me home

You look at me but see right through me
Will you ever see, will you ever see me
I just wanna be, I just wanna be seen
