Be You! (With Daddy In Mind)

Don't follow the leader.
Be the leader.
Don't be afraid and cry.
Toughen up and get back in the game.
Don't hide in the shadows.
Be strong.
Don't runaway, from your problems.
Stand up and fight your battles.
You gonna let him get in your face?
And call you things that burns a persons eyes?
No!
Take charge!
Tell him, how you feel!
Let the flames out!
Scream!
Shout!
Don't hold back.
Speak the words that tears a person in half.
That makes a person want to change their ways.
Yell the truth!
Make him afraid!
Show him, how it feels!
To be in your shoes!
Make him tighten his mucsles.
To cower in fear!
Now how does it feel?
To be in someone else's body?
Do you hurt?
Physically?
And emotionally?
Do you understand?
What you do?
How you hurt?
And still you could careless.
