soft and strong Lyrics

If you show your emotions

It don't mean that you're weak

So forget what they told ya

Here's the truth that you need

Stop the cycle they spun you

You will set yourself free

And all the children that watch you

They will follow your lead

Let

Down your guard

Open up your heart

We can be

Simultaneously

Soft and strong

Both

Go hand in hand

Baby understand

Don't suppress

Who you are

Soft and strong

Stop the stigma, it's brave

Don't let your heart harden

Try to make it a place

You can cha cha cha like Charmin

While you carry the weight

Of expression and clarity

And you make all the gains

Of emotional sincerity

Dare to be a snowflake

Dare to be a feather

Normalize the okay

Of showing different weathers

Whether you are smiling or eyes a little wetter

You can show your face

Cuz you're not any lesser

Let

Down your guard

Open up your heart

We can be

Simultaneously

Soft and strong

Both

Go hand in hand

Baby understand

Don't suppress

Who you are

Soft and strong

Softness is for everyone

Nobody to exclude

Your gentleness is tough enough

You do not have to prove

Anything to anyone

Your heart's a muscle too

In being sensitive, you're equipped with loving views

So

Put on your Lotion

Time to be open

Open to changing, addressing and showing

All your emotions

Soft like a fro and

Strong like uterus

Embrace your humanness

The strength is in the doing it

So let

Down your guard

Open up your heart

We can be

Simultaneously

Soft and strong

Both

Go hand in hand

Baby understand

Don't suppress

Who you are

Soft and strong

Don't tell 'em to stop crying

Tell 'em it's alright and

It don't make 'em weak

Let 'em be complete
