Lyrics for EMPOWERMENT Songs for Spring Chorus Show 2019“Fight Song” – Rachel Platten, 2014Like a small boatOn the oceanSending big wavesInto motionLike how a single wordCan make a heart openI might only have one matchBut I can make an explosionAnd all those things I didn't sayWrecking balls inside my brainI will scream them loud tonightCan you hear my voice this time?This is my fight songTake back my life songProve I'm alright songMy power's turned onStarting right now I'll be strongI'll play my fight songAnd I don't really care if nobody else believes'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in meLosing friends and I'm chasing sleepEverybody's worried about meIn too deepSay I'm in too deep (in too deep)And it's been two years I miss my homeBut there's a fire burning in my bonesStill believeYeah, I still believeAnd all those things I didn't sayWrecking balls inside my brainI will scream them loud tonightCan you hear my voice this time?This is my fight songTake back my life songProve I'm alright songMy power's turned onStarting right now I'll be strongI'll play my fight songAnd I don't really care if nobody else believes'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in meA lot of fight left in meLike a small boatOn the oceanSending big wavesInto motionLike how a single wordCan make a heart openI might only have one matchBut I can make an explosionThis is my fight songTake back my life songProve I'm alright songMy power's turned onStarting right now I'll be strong (I'll be strong)I'll play my fight songAnd I don't really care if nobody else believes'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in meKnow I've still got a lot of fight left in me“Beautiful” – Christina Aguilera, 2002Ooo…Ev’ryday is so wonderful, then suddenly, it’s hard to breathe,Now and then I get insecure from all the pain,Feel so ashamed,I am beautiful no matter what they say,Words can’t bring me down.I am beautiful, in ev’ry single way.Yes, words can’t bring me down,So don’t you bring me down today.To all your friends you’re delirious.So consumed in all your doom.Trying hard to fill the emptiness.The pieces gone, left the puzzle undone.Ain’t that the way it is?You are beautiful, no matter what they say.Words can’t bring you down.You are beautiful in ev’ry single way.Yes, words can’t bring you down.So don’t you bring me down today.No matter what we do. No matter what we say.We’re the song inside the tune Full of beautiful mistakes.And ev’rywhere we go, the sun will always shine.And tomorrow we might awake, on the other side.We are beautiful no matter what they say.Words won’t bring us down.We are beautiful in ev’ry single way.Yes, words won’t bring us down. Oh, no.So, don’t you bring me down today.Don’t you bring me down today. Yeah!Don’t you bring me down today.“Brave” – Sara Bareilles, 2013You can be amazin’, you can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug.You can be the outcast or be the backlashOf somebody’s lack of love.Or you can start speaking up.Nothin’s gonna hurt you the way that words doWhen they settle ‘neath your skinKept on the inside and no sunlight.Sometimes a shadow wins.But I wonder what would happen if youCHORUS:Say what you wanna say and let the words fall out honestly.I wanna see you be brave with what you wanna sayAnd let the words fall out honestly.I wanna see you be brave.Just wanna see you,I just wanna see you. I just wanna see you.I wanna see you be brave.Just wanna see you.I just wanna see you. I just wanna see you.I wanna see you be brave.Ev’rybody’s been there, Ev’rybody’s been stared down by the enemy.Fallen for the fear and done some disappearin’,Bowed down to the mighty. Don’t run.Just stop holdin’ your tongue.Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live.Maybe one of these days you can let the light inAnd show me how big your brave is.CHORUS Say what you wanna say and let the words fall out honestly.I wanna see you be brave with what you wanna sayAnd let the words fall out honestly.I wanna see you be brave.And since your history of silence won’t do you any good,Did you think it would?Let your words be anything but empty.Why don’t you tell them the truth?CHORUS:Say what you wanna say and let the words fall out honestly.I wanna see you be brave with what you wanna sayAnd let the words fall out honestly.I wanna see you be brave.Just wanna see you,I just wanna see you. I just wanna see you.I wanna see you be brave.Just wanna see you.I just wanna see you. I just wanna see you. (last 2 lines 3x)I wanna see you be brave!SOLO: See you be brave. See you be brave.

I’m undefined.I’m just beginning, the pen’s in my hand,ending unplanned.Staring at the blank page before you, open up the dirty window.Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find.Reaching for something in the distance, so close you can almost taste it.Release your inhibitions.Feel the rain on your skin. No one else can feel it for you.Only you can let it in.No one else, no one else can speak the words on your lips.Drench yourself in words unspoken.Live your life with arms wide open.Today is where your book begins, The rest is still unwritten.I break tradition.Sometimes my tries are outside the lines.We’ve been conditioned To not make mistakes,But I can’t live that way. Ooo, oh.Staring at the blank page…inhibitions. (3x)I am unwritten.“You Say” – Lauren Daigle, 2018I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I’m not enoughEvery single lie that tells me I will never measure upAm I more than just the sum of every high and every low?Remind me once again just who I am, because I need to know (ooh oh)You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thingYou say I am strong when I think I am weakYou say I am held when I am falling shortWhen I don’t belong, oh You say that I am YoursAnd I believe (I), oh I believe (I)What You say of me (I)I believeThe only thing that matters now is everything You think of meIn You I find my worth, in You I find my identity, (ooh oh)You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thingYou say I am strong when I think I am weakAnd You say I am held when I am falling shortWhen I don’t belong, oh You say that I am YoursAnd I believe (I), oh I believe (I)What You say of me (I)Oh, I believeTaking all I have and now I'm laying it at Your feetYou have every failure God, and You'll have every victory, (ooh oh)You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thingYou say I am strong when I think I am weakYou say I am held when I am falling shortWhen I don’t belong, oh You say that I am YoursAnd I believe (I), oh I believe (I)What You say of me (I)I believeOh I believe (I), yes I believe (I)What You say of me (I)Oh I believe (oh)”This is Me” from The Greatest Showman, Keala Settle & TGS Ensemble, 2017I am not a stranger to the dark.Hide away, they say, ‘cause we don’t want your broken parts.I’ve learned to be ashamed of all my scars.Run away, they say, no one’ll love you as you are.But I won’t let them break me down to dustI know that there’s a place for us,For we are glorious.CHORUS:When the sharpest words wanna cut me downI’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown ‘em out.I am brave, I am bruised, I am who I’m meant to beThis is me.Look out, ‘cause here I come;And I’m marchin’ on to the beat I drum.I’m not scared to be seen; I make no apologiesThis is me. Oh…. Oh… Oh… Oh… Oh. Oh…Another round of bullets hit my skin.Well, fire away, ‘cause today I won’t let the shame sink in.We are burstin’ through the barricadesAnd reachin’ for the sun.We are warriors and that’s what we’ve become.Yeah, that’s what we’ve become…I won’t let them break me down to dustI know that there’s a place for us,For we are glorious.REPEAT CHORUS 1xREVISED CHORUS w/ solo at beginningWhen the sharpest words wanna cut me downGonna send a flood, gonna drown ‘em out.THIS IS brave, THIS IS bruised, THIS IS who I’m meant to beThis is me.Look out, ‘cause here I come;And I’m marchin’ on to the beat I drum.I’m not scared to be seen; I make no apologiesThis is me. Oh…. Oh… Oh… Oh… Oh. Oh…WHENEVER the words wanna cut me downI’LL send a flood TO drown ‘em out.Oh… oh… oh… oh… Oh. Oh. This is me! ................
