I first lifted my head …
They smiled lovingly …
I said my first word …
They smile proudly …
I took my first step …
They smiled joyously…
My first day of school …
They nodded lovingly...
My first piano recital...
They nodded proudly
My first award…
They nodded joyously …
And then I grew up.

Now I’m told to keep my head down …
To keep quiet...
To sit down...
My grades aren’t up to scratch...
My music is too loud …
My achievements just don’t match …
And then I decided...
To hold my head high …
To speak my mind...
And to stand up for what I believe ...
All I can do is do my best …

If I like it then f**k the rest …
