You don't like them stepping on you   You don't like they make fun of your name   You don't like they tell you what to do when   You just try to fit in   And they're all laughing   You're left there standing   Don't know what to do      (pre-chorus)   When you feel hurt and afraid   Don't show it bothers you   Don't give yourself away      (chorus)   Eyes keep closing   And your mind's exploding   And your anger's growing   Can you...      Stand up for yourself - don't be afraid   Watch out for yourself - don't be afraid   Close up your fist - you are NOT AFRAID      Don't know how it began   Don't know who said it   Don't know who you can trust - are they lying?   It's hard when you pretend   That they're not pointing   Their fingers feel like someone's pushing you...      (repeat pre-chorus and chorus)      Don't be afraid - don't be afraid   Don't run, run,run      (repeat pre-chorus and chorus)      Don't be afraid
