Be Brave

Look up in the sky
Do you see stars or lies?
I see people fly
But did they really rise

Think they're the greatest
once they were inferior
we're not the bravest
so, we listen to our superiors

You need to stand up
and speak for yourself
this world is corrupt
our issues won't fit in a cup

Words can act like knives
but only if you let it cut
keep trying to strive
don't let the next door shut
