I was a follower A coward, Just trying to fit in In this busy, busy empire Then I met a person, who believed she had it all not in the bad way, as you would suppose She gave me some advice, do you want to know what it was? Even if you don’t, here it is, Simple and plain: She said if you hold your head up high But not so your nose is in the sky If you are proud of what you acquire, Your confidence shoots way higher If you speak up and voice your opinion, So that people know you’re not just another minion If you be who you want to, And forget the people who say it’s not you And if you are kind to others, But also your mother You are a leader If you stand up for the people you may not even know And tell that ignorant little harasser just to get up and go If you know where you should be, There’s a whole lot you can see If others think that you are worth nothing, Show them they’re wrong by saying “If you say I’m worth nothing, then you’re not worth a whole lot either!” And just walk away Because all it shows, Is that You’re a leader, And they aren’t.
