Advice From Ray

I don't always have the strength

I'm so afraid to show fault

Some words don't endure through time

Some stay deep in the vault

That's where I look for your approval

'Cause I have a job to do

So when I need to seize the moment

I'm just reaching for you

Girls are taught to be quiet

But you taught me to be loud

And there is gold in silence

But don't you go shutting down

I hear, "Let it go, let it be"

I hear your voice telling me

"There's power in now

Make me proud"

You don't need blood to be family

You just feel it in your bones

You knew a house with walls that crumble

Could still be a home

When they pass you the mic

You sing "Chantilly Lace"

No hesitation

No moments wasted

Girls are taught to be quiet

But you taught me to be loud

And there is gold in silence

But don't you go shutting down

I hear, "Let it go, let it be"

I hear your voice telling me

"There's power in now

Make me proud"

I'll make you proud

Proud, proud

I'll make you proud

Proud

I'll make you proud

Girls are taught to be quiet

But you taught me to sing loud

And there is gold in silence

Don't you go shutting down

"Let it go, let it be," oh

I hear your voice telling me

"There's power in now"

And I'll make you proud
