Be proud of who you are
No matter where you are from
If you come out of hardship
You come out smiling like the Sun.

Be proud of who you are
To hell what people say
Be proud of who you are
In every single way.

You are the stuff of magic
Always remember that
Even when the skies
May seem that little black.

Be proud of who you are
For we all face so much
We are the stuff of stars
So we should shine as such.

Don’t you ever cower
Don’t be forced to hide
Stand tall like a tower
Find power in your pride.

When you take a step
Take it feeling good
If others disrespect
Respect yourself with love.

Be proud of who you are
Set examples if you can
And remember you are a star
Be you woman, child, or man.

Take pride in yourself
Encourage others to do the same
Help starts with self
And pride is for everyone to claim.

Don’t let others snatch it from you
For some are bound to try
For some hate to see another
Walking, smiling with head high.

We are the stuff of magic
There is magic in everyone
So when you walking out
You walk out smiling like the Sun.
