My Voice Matters

[Intro – soft piano + whispering voices]
My thoughts are big…
My words are real…
My voice matters.

[Verse 1 – (R&B soul groove + soft vocal)]
I used to shrink, afraid to say,
The things I felt inside each day.
But now I know that I belong,
That quiet kids are still strong.
When I speak up, I don’t shout—
But every word I share has clout.

[Pre-Chorus – (call and harmony echo)]
Say “Speak…” (Speak…)
Say “True…” (True…)
What you say belongs to you.

[Chorus – (anthemic, full vocal)]
My voice matters—I will speak,
Even when my words are weak.
Even if my hands still shake,
I know my truth is mine to make.
So I speak kindly, loud and clear—
And let the world know I am here.
My voice matters, and I see—
That it’s okay to be heard as me.

[Verse 2 – (Afropop rhythm + gospel backing)]
I don’t need to be the loudest one,
To share the truth of what I’ve done.
Sometimes brave means saying “no,”
Or asking why when I don’t know.
I speak with love, I speak with care—
Because my voice belongs out there.

[Bridge – (repeat 2x)]
Your voice is brave.
Your voice is wise.
Your voice can lift the lowest skies.

[Youth Rap Verse – (clean, rhythmic flow)]
Yo—
My voice ain’t perfect, but it’s real,
Every word I drop, you feel.
I don’t gotta fit the mold,
I speak young, I speak bold.
This world needs what I bring—
So I show up, and I sing.
Not to impress, but to express,
My voice creates success.

[Final Chorus – (choir, layered harmonies)]
My voice matters—I will speak,
Even when my words are weak.
Even if my hands still shake,
I know my truth is mine to make.
So I speak kindly, loud and clear—
And let the world know I am here.
My voice matters, and I see—
That it’s okay to be heard as me.

[Outro – (spoken softly)]
You don’t have to shout to be powerful.
Just speak.
Because your voice matters.
