[chorus:]
Give me the right to be heard,
to be seen, to be loved, to be free,
to be everything I need
to be me, to be safe, to believe...
in something...
I have a right to be heard,
to be seen, to be loved, to be free,
to be everything I need
to be me, to be safe, to believe...
in something...
Father, there's a little flower,
beautiful and different
all alone, all alone.
Is it so, dad? I'm not supposed
to make the world anew and be like you...
Am I you?
Give me the gift to be heard... [chorus]
...right to be heard, to be seen, to be loved, to be me...
You made it clear right from the start:
I am to take your sour heart within
one sad day.
But I will never teach my son
embittered history, tried and true
'cause I'm not you!
I have a right to be heard,
to be seen, to be loved, to be free,
to be everything I need
to be me, to be safe, to believe...
in something...
I have a right to be heard,
to be seen, to be loved, to be free,
to have every gift — I need
to be me, to be safe, to believe...
in something...
Give me the eyes so I see,
give me ears so I hear,
give me love so I know what love is,
give me the freedom to think, to believe...
in something...
I have a right to be heard,
to be seen, to be loved, to be free,
to be everything I need
to be me, to be safe, to believe...
in something...
I have the special right to grow up and to develop physically and spiritually in a healthy and normal way, free and with dignity.
I have the right to love and understanding.
My parents have special responsibilities for my education and guidance.
I should be taught peace, understanding, tolerance, and friendship among all people.
So give me the gift: to hear, to see
the love, the freedom to choose the things I feel,
to be right for the world you'll leave me.
Give something!
Give me the right to be heard... [chorus]
Ohh...
Give me the right to be heard... [chorus]
...right to be heard... [chorus x4]
to be heard!
