Scream above the noise

That you’re perfect as you are

Even when times are hard

You are brave

And even if they say

Voice

Scream above the noise

That you’re perfect as you are

Even when times are hard

And even if they say

That you’ll never go far

Cause you’re «dumb», «skinny» or «scarred»

You’re perfect the way you are

Voice

Scream above the noise

That you’re perfect as you are

Even when times are hard

You are brave

And even if they say

That you’ll never go far

Because you’re «dumb», «skinny» or «scarred»

You’re perfect the way you are
