about

Genevieve tells Cally about how she found her strength.

lyrics

Genevieve:
WHEN I WAS YOUNG, I RAN AROUND
I’D GET ALL DIRTY AND THEY’D FROWN
SAY WHAT A PITY, YOU’D BE PRETTY IF YOU EVER TRIED TO BE

I’D CALMLY LISTEN WHILE THEY’D SCOLD
EXPLAIN TO THEM I COULDN’T FIT INTO THEIR MOLD
AND SO THEY TOLD ME NO ONE WOULD BELIEVE IN ME

THEY SAID I SHOULD BE SEEN NOT HEARD
A STUPID CONCEPT, BUT IT CURED ME OF MY NEED
TO BE APPROVED BY THEM, I UNDERSTOOD

THAT I HAVE BRAINS, A BODY AND A VOICE
I AM A PERSON, IT’S MY CHOICE TO FIT IN OR TO FLY
IF THEY REJECT ME, WELL THEN I WILL

FIND SOMEBODY WHO BELIEVES IN ME ‘CAUSE I BELIEVE THAT
I AM CAPABLE OF ANYTHING I THINK THAT I CAN DO
I WILL FIGHT FOR ALL THAT’S RIGHT AND WHEN I’M DONE, DON’T WORRY
I HAVE FIGHT TO SPARE INSIDE MY HEART, SO I WILL FIGHT FOR YOU TOO

I CLEARLY SAW I HAD A CHOICE
TO STAY INSIDE AND LOSE MY VOICE
WHILE THEY’D TRY TO REPAIR ME, NO ONE CARED ABOUT THE REAL ME

SO I WENT AWAY TO FIND
THIS PLACE I PICTURED IN MY MIND
I DOUBTED IT WAS REAL, BUT THEN I GOT HERE, THEY’VE HELPED ME TO FEEL

LIKE THERE IS NOTHING TO BE GAINED
BY HOLDING ONTO ANY SHAME
MY PAST TRIED TO INSTILL, INSTEAD I JUST TRY TO FULFILL

THE BEST OF MY POTENTIAL AS A HUMAN
AND I SEE THAT YOU ARE NEW AND
NEED A HELPING HAND, I’M REACHING OUT SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND

I’M SOMEBODY WHO BELIEVES IN YOU ‘CAUSE I BELIEVE THAT
WE ARE CAPABLE OF ANYTHING WE THINK THAT WE CAN DO
I WILL FIGHT FOR ALL THAT’S RIGHT AND WHEN I’M DONE, DON’T WORRY
I HAVE FIGHT TO SPARE INSIDE MY HEART, SO I WILL FIGHT FOR YOU TOO

THE FIRST STEP OF ANY JOURNEY
IS TO FIGURE OUT IF YOU CAN WALK
SO STEP ON UP BESIDE ME
‘CAUSE IT’S TIME YOU LEARNED AT LEAST TO TALK THE TALK

Genevieve & Cally:
I’M SOMEBODY WHO BELIEVES IN YOU ‘CAUSE I BELIEVE THAT
WE ARE CAPABLE OF ANYTHING WE THINK THAT WE CAN DO
WE WILL FIGHT FOR ALL THAT’S RIGHT AND WHEN WE’RE DONE, DON’T WORRY
WE’LL HAVE FIGHT TO SPARE, WE’LL FIGHT FOR ANYONE WHO’S SCARED
IF EVER YOU’RE IN NEED, WE PROMISE, ‘CAUSE TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER
SAY THE WORD, AND YOU’RE NO LONGER ON YOUR OWN
BECAUSE SOMEONE BELIEVES IN YOU
