"I Have A Right" lyrics

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
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

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
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

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

I have a 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 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
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

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