I Have a Right
[chorus:]Give me the right to be heard,to be seen, to be loved, to be free,to be everything I needto 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 needto be me, to be safe, to believe...in something...
Father, there's a little flower,beautiful and differentall alone, all alone.Is it so, dad? I'm not supposedto 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 withinone sad day.But I will never teach my sonembittered 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 needto 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 needto 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 needto 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 seethe 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!
