I Have A Right

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.

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
To be seen, to be loved, to be free
To be everything... I need to be me
To be safe, to believe... In something.

...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.

[Spoken:]
I have a special right to grow up
And to develope 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 responsibilites
For my education and guidance
I should be taught peace, understanding, tollerance
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
To be seen, to be loved, to be free
To be everything I need to be me
To be safe, to believe... In something.

Ohhhhh…

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.

Right to be heard, to be seen
To be loved, to be free, to be everything
I need to be heard, to be seen
To be loved, to be free, to be everything
I need to be heard, to be seen
To be loved, to be free, to be everything
I need to be heard...
