Lyrics[]
You gotta have pride
Don't be ashamed
Our love is the same
I got pride
I am what I am
I'm taking a stand
I got pride
Once I was lonely
Once I was scared
Felt Like no one in the world ever cared
But I grew stronger day by day
Had to keep on searching till I found my way
So take my hand
Divided we fall
Together we stand
Don't turn away
Tomorrow will be a day
You gotta have Pride
Don't be ashamed
Our love is the same
I got pride
I am what I am
I'm taking a stand
I got pride
There was some bad days
I was so blue
But through all my troubles
I pulled myself through
I just kept believing
That I'd be okay
I knew in my heart I would make it someday
So take my hand
Divided we fall
Together we stand
Don't turn away
Tomorrow will be a day
You gotta have pride
Don't be ashamed
Our Love is the same
I got pride
I am what I am
I'm taking a stand
I got pride
Pride Pride Pride
Give me some pride
Pride Pride Pride
So take my hand
Divided we fall
Together we stand
Don't turn away
Tomorrow will be a day
You gotta have pride
Don't be ashamed
Our love is the same
I got pride
I am what I am
I'm taking a stand
I have pride
