about

Written when I was around 10 years old. It is an anti-bullying song written to my brother who was subjected to severe bullying. Little did I know I would also be bullied at school years later. #NoBullying

lyrics

Written By: Amelia Scalies
I know you’re strong enough; I know it’s been long enough, but don’t let them win.
I know you’re great enough; I know it’s gotten late enough, but don’t let them win.
Because you’re like a shadow, there’s no one, and you’re all alone...but you can’t just give in.
You’re like a memory, but, babe it pays off to dream, so, don’t let them win.
Because you’re gonna stand out, gonna scream and shout,
Gonna show them all what you’re all about,
Don’t let them win.
Don’t give in, give the world a spin,
Go and show them all what’s happening,
Don’t let them win.
They turned on you that night, but don’t let that ruin your life, so, keep resisting them.
Because you’re beautiful, and, just because they’re cynical don’t mean they win.
Babe, you’re gonna stand out, gonna scream and shout,
Go and show them all what life’s about,
Don’t let them win.
Don’t give in, give their world a spin,
Show everyone what’s happening,
Don’t let them win.
Don’t let the setting sun turn your world to gray
Don’t let the change to winter ruin every day.
Don’t let anyone tell you what to do.
Don’t let anyone make a fool of you.
Don’t let them win… don’t let them win.
Breathe in, give their world a spin,
Baby show them all what’s happening,
Don’t let them win.
Sing out, play your music loud,
Turn the volume up until the walls crash down,
Don’t let them win.

I know you’re strong enough; I know it’s been long enough, but, don’t let them win.
