She lives in the shadow of a lonely girl,
voice so quiet, you can't hear a word
Always talking, but she can't be heard
You can see it there if you catch her eye
I know she's brave, but it's trapped inside
Scared to talk, but she doesn't know why
Wish I knew back then what I know now,
wish I could, somehow, go back in time
And maybe, listen to my own advice
I tell her to speak up,
I tell her to shout out,
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
everything she doesn't see.
You gotta speak up,
you gotta shout out,
And know, that I'm right here, right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
anything you wanna be,
little me...
Yeah, you got a lot of time to act your age
Can't write a book from a single page
Hands from a clock only turn one way
Run too fast, and you risk it all
Can't be afraid to take a fall
Felt so big, but she looked so small
Wish I knew back then what I know now,
wish I could, somehow, go back in time
And maybe, listen to my own advice
I tell her to speak up,
I tell her to shout out,
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
everything she doesn't see.
You gotta speak up,
you gotta shout out,
And know, that I'm right here, right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
anything you wanna be,
little me...
(little me...)
I tell her to speak up,
I tell her to shout out,
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
everything she doesn't see.
You gotta speak up,
you gotta shout out,
And know, that I'm right here, right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
anything you wanna be
I tell her to speak up,
I tell her to shout out,
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
everything she doesn't see.
You gotta speak up,
you gotta shout out,
And know, that I'm right here, right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
anything you wanna be!
I tell her to speak up,
I tell her to shout out,
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
everything she doesn't see.
You gotta speak up,
you gotta shout out,
And know, that I'm right here, right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
anything you wanna be,
little me...
