What's it mean to have self-worth
What is it to have pride
Does it come through action or
Do you hold back and abide
Is it shy or so detached
Or does it draw a crowd
Does it live in secrecy
Or does it cry out loud
Does it mean you lose it
When you're beaten to the ground
Do you only let it out
When not anyone's around
We've witnessed that you wear it
As a badge you've earned in war
You'll give your life to have it
When it's what you're fighting for
Pride is everything you are
When you know yourself inside
You wear your soul out on your sleeve
You've nowhere left to hide
We hear them scream for us to hear
"This is who I am and love it!"
And just as they hope others do
That hate, we'll rise above it
For no one better strip them of
Their values and beliefs
They've earned their right to life their life
Both in victory and grief
The world has come together now
Let them have all we can give
Incredible is their sacrifice
So empowered they will live!
