A Song For Us - ORIGINAL SONG

The Truth Anthem

[Verse 1]

Someone once forced me to play along

And shut my mouth

“Don’t sing your song.”

Ready to sing, now I’m here,

To share my truth

After all these years.

[Verse 2]

This is a song about growing up

And being tough

In finding you’re enough.

So this is a song for the girl back then

Who shut her mouth —

I sing, “Never again.”

[Chorus]

Here’s to me,

dear me

Sorry it took so long

to write me a song

and sing it.

Here’s to me,

dear me

Why couldn’t I see

that truth sets us free

and heals us?

This song is for me

[Verse 3]

So when you feel forced to play along

And shut your mouth —

Don’t hold your tongue.

Don’t shy away from shining free.

Listen to these words —

Take a lesson from me.

Find your voice and use it well.

Standing tough

In knowing it’s enough.

Don’t let the song you’re meant to sing

Go unsung —

Be who you’re meant to be.

[Chorus 2]

Here’s to you,

Dear you

Sorry I waited so long

To write you a song

And sing it.

Here’s to you, Dear you

Why can’t we all see

Truth sets our souls free

And we’re brand new?

This song is for you.

(Instrumental Break  — Piano Featured)

[Final Chorus]

Here’s to us,

Dear us

Sorry I waited so long

To write us a song

And sing it.

Dear us,

Dear us

I’ll take it from here.

There’s no more fear —

This you can trust.

This song is for us.
