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
In 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?
Will they make you who you are not?
Will they make you who you are not?

Let the free will light the way
In these times of darkened days
Let the free will 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
