Prompt / Lyrics

Verse 1
Sometimes the clouds get big and grey
And they follow you throughout the day.
Maybe your tummy feels a little tight,
Or your worries won't let you sleep at night.
It's okay to feel that little ache,
It’s a big feeling that you can’t quite shake. Don’t you ever think you're wrong or bad,
For feeling worried, lonely, or sad.

Pre-Chorus
But a tiny voice gets stuck inside,
Trying to find a place to hide.
It whispers, “Shhh, keep it all a secret now,”
But we know a better way somehow!

Chorus
Speak up, speak out! Let the feeling fly!
Tell a grown-up, give it a try!
It’s not a weakness, it's a superpower move, When you share your heart, you always improve!
Speak up, speak out! Don't you hold it in,
That's where the healing and the fun begin!
A brave thing to do, a hero's choice,
To find your words and use your voice!

Verse 2
When your tower of blocks falls down on the floor,
Or someone’s unkind and slams the door,
The sadness can feel like a heavy, big stone,
And you might feel totally all alone.
But look around you, what do you see?
A friend, a teacher, a family!
They all have feelings, just like you,
And they really, truly want to help you through!

Pre-Chorus
But a tiny voice gets stuck inside,
Trying to find a place to hide.
It whispers, “Shhh, keep it all a secret now,”
But we know a better way somehow!

Chorus
Speak up, speak out! Let the feeling fly!
Tell a grown-up, give it a try!
It’s not a weakness, it's a superpower move,
When you share your heart, you always improve!
Speak up, speak out! Don't you hold it in,
That's where the healing and the fun begin!
A brave thing to do, a hero's choice,
To find your words and use your voice!

Bridge
Just one word, a gentle sound,
And suddenly help is all around.
It makes the big feeling start to shrink and fall,
Because you didn’t have to carry it all.

Outro
Yeah, finding your words is the very best tool...
You are strong, you are brave, you are cool!
Speak up... Speak out...
