She lives in the shadow
of a lonely girl
voice so quiet
you don't hear a word
Always talking
but she can't be heard
You can see it there
if you catch her eye
I know she's brave
but it's trapped inside
Scared to talk but
she don't know why-y-y
wish I knew back then
what I know now
Wish I could somehow
go back in time
and maybe listen
to my own advice
I'd tell her to speak up
tell her to shout out
talk a bit louder
be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful
wonderful, everything
she doesn't see
You gotta speak up
You gotta shout out
And know that
right here right now
you can be beautiful
wonderful, anything
you wanna be little me
Yeah you got a lot of time
to act your age
you cannot write a book
from a single page
Hands on the clock
only turn one way-ay-ay
yeah
Run too fast
can't risk it all
can't be afraid
to take a fall
Felt so big
but you looked so small
wish I knew back then
what I know now
Wish I could somehow
go back in time
and maybe listen
to my own advice
I'd tell her to speak up
tell her to shout out
talk a bit louder
be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful
wonderful, everything
she doesn't see
You gotta speak up
You gotta shout out
And know that
right here right now
you can be beautiful
wonderful, anything
you wanna be little me
Little me
oh yeah, yeah oooh
Tell you one thing
I would say
I'd tell her to speak up
tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder
be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful
wonderful, everything
she doesn't see
You've gotta speak up
You've gotta shout out
And know that
right here right now
you can be beautiful
wonderful, anything
you wanna be
I'd tell her to speak up
tell her to shout out
talk a bit louder
be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful
wonderful, everything
she doesn't see
You've gotta speak up
You've gotta shout out
And know that
right here right now
you can be beautiful
wonderful, anything
you wanna be
I'd tell her to speak up
tell her to shout out
talk a bit louder
be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful
wonderful, everything
she doesn't see
You've gotta speak up
You've gotta shout out
And know that
right here right now
you can be beautiful
wonderful, anything you
