Represent Lyrics

A kid came up to me now just the other day
And asked me if I thought about what I would say
If everything came crashing down on top of me
How would I stay torn?

Will you represent?
Will you stand close?
Will they shame you?
Will they blame you?

It's funny how the words of a child can be
Simple, but the thought there is so meaningful
Makes me wonder what I would say to me
In the eyes of another

Will you represent?
Will you stand close?
Will they shame you?
Will they blame you?

There's a consequence
For the path you chose
Will they change you?

Will they make you who you are? [x3]

Let the free world ride your way
In these times of darkened days
Let the free world ride your way (let the free world ride your way)

You will represent
You'll stand close
They won't shame you
They won't change you

There's a consequence
For the path you chose
They can't change you
They can't make you who you are not.
