I Have a Right lyrics

[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!
