Lyrics[]
Bullied from the moment we were born
We were always on our own
No one ever said we should be proud
Or embrace the fact of standing out
For too long, we just played along
Always putting up a show
But that was then, look at us now
All we want is for them to know is
We are who we are
And who we are is who we wanna be
We don’t have to listen
‘Cause all that counts is you and me
And then we’re rising when we fall
In the middle of the storm
We’re standing tall, standing tall
And if they tell us that we’re wrong oh, oh oh
Then the love in our hearts
Will keep us strong oh, oh oh
Ah, listen up, listen up, it’s me Jenny B
What you get is what you see
And that’s for Jess over here
She’s a special VIP
So you better listen carefully
If they despise you on Twitter
Don’t get sad, don’t be better
Don’t give up and be a quitter
Show ‘em you’re better (Yeah)
Hell no, if you say so
Wrap it up and be a star
‘Cause you know exactly
Who we are, give it to ‘em Jess
We are who we are (Yeah)
And who we are is who we wanna be
We don’t have to listen (Don’t listen)
‘Cause all that counts is you and me (Hey, hey, hey)
And then we’re rising when we fall
In the middle of the storm
We’re standing tall oh, standing tall
And if they tell us that we’re wrong oh, oh oh
Then the love in our hearts
Will keep us strong oh, oh oh
They can make us silent
But in our hearts we’ll never be
And then we’re rising when we fall, oh oh, yeah
In the middle of the storm
We’re standing tall oh, we’re standing tall
And if they tell us that we’re wrong oh, oh oh
Then the love in our hearts
Will keep us strong oh, oh oh, yeah
