Represent

A kid came up to me now just the other day And asked me if I'd thought about what I would say If everything came crashing down on top of me How would I stay pure? Will you represent Who you stand for Will they shame you Will they blame you It's funny how the words of a child can be Simple, though the thought there is so meaningful It makes me wonder what I would say to me Through the eyes of another Will you represent Who you stand for Will they shame you Will they blame you There's a consequence For the path you chose Will they change you Will they make you who you are not Let the free world light the way In these times of darkened days Let the free world light the way You will represent Who you stand for They won't shame you They won't change you There's a consequence For the path you chose They can't change you They can't make you who you are not
