Standing (On My Own)
I wasn't allowed to cry around you
so I opened my eyes and I felt so blue
walking away from a life of despair
treating myself with tender, love and care.
You pushed me away when I was weak
but I grew up & I'm ready to speak
gone are the days when I was so small
by standing up to you, I'm standing real tall.
