VERSE 1
This is our world
For us to share
Don’t pretend that we’re not there
This is our time to sing our song
Don’t tell us that we’re always wrong
PRE CHORUS
Sometimes you just want to sing out
But it’s hard to find the words
One voice may not seem to be strong
But together we can be heard!
CHORUS
Even though it can be hard to stand our ground
You won’t bring us down
Crazy times we’re living in
Heads are spinning round
It won’t bring us down
REFRAIN
Na-na na na-na na na na x 2

One voice may not seem to be strong
But together we can be heard!
