VERSE 1
(Kee)
In a broken world that needs to be fixed
Where do your unique emotions exist?
Do your feelings matter? Do they belong?
Or should you hide them all away to appear strong?
Or avoid disappointing those you tell
Who pretend to listen while they judge you as well
But with me please know that you have a place
That is and will always be a safe space
You don’t have to hide your feelings to protect yourself from harm
There’s no danger here, or cause for alarm
Whatever you’re feeling you can let it all out
I’m here for you in flood or drought
There’s no wrong you can do, just let your feelings show
That’s the way to learn and the way to grow
To express yourself in a way that’s true
And only ever be 100% you
PRE-CHORUS
You don't need to feel ashamed
Or hide away your pain
You can let your anger show
And let your tears flow
CHORUS
(Hails)
We're powerful, incredible, unstoppable
We are
excitable, and sometimes
our emotions have to give it our all
But we are who we are,
Feel those feelings
Come what may
oh, feel those feelings girl,
let 'em run away
VERSE 2
And sometimes it might feel like what I’m saying isn’t true
Because even though I’m trying to do my best for you
I’ll make mistakes and I’ll get it wrong
But it’s only ‘cos I’m broken and I’m not that strong
I wish I was better so you’d know for sure
That you’ve always got somewhere you can feel secure
‘Cos it’s the healthy thing to communicate your feelings
To enhance discourse and encourage healing
If you’re hiding things away, you’re hiding from what’s real
And if we’re all hiding, how can we be healed?
We’re hiding because we’ve all been broken
Too afraid for our truths to ever be spoken
But a band aid on a bullet wound won’t do anymore
It’s a parent’s job to open doors
To allow our children to feel what they feel
‘Cos if we heal them, the world will heal
