She smiles through a thousand tears, and harbors adolescent fears. She dreams of all that she can never be, she wades in insecurity.

This is for all of you out there tonight, reaching for a dream - don't ever give up! Never ever listen to anyone, when they try to discourage you, because they do that, believe me!

If you believe within your soul, just hold on tight and don't let go! You can make it, make it happen

Stay triumphant, keep on living. Stay on your toes, get off the ropes. Don't let 'em ever count you out.
