Raise Your Flags written by Nicola Harris (solidarity)
Показать описание
Raise Your Flags is a modern country crossover song written by Nicola Harris for everyone who has felt vulnerable or victimized.
Nicola wanted to incapsulate the feelings that her herself felt after she was portrayed so obscurely at the hands of X Factor. Nicola suffered for years mentally not only with what was aired, but with what happened behind the scenes that the viewer didn't get to witness.
Nicola was also there for her best friend when he finally found the courage to separate from his wife because he could no longer hide the fact that he was gay. It was very painful all round and many of his friends disowned him, that truly hurt him, but over time he is now happy living the life he craved with three wonderful sons that came out of his marriage.
Nicola's niece has cerebral palsy. Her niece attended normal school as mentally there is nothing wrong with her, she just struggles slightly to walk as far as most as her condition effects her legs. Children can be so cruel and say such hurtful things. There were times when her niece would sit there and hit her own legs out of frustration that they wouldn't work the same as the other children's at school. It would break Nicola's heart hearing and seeing her get so upset.
This song is written for everyone.
LYRICS
‘RAISE YOUR FLAGS’
Verse
Head is full of nasty words
Hearts trodden down and cursed
When all you wanna be is heard
It breaks your heart to stay alive
With so much hate they have inside
I wish they’d read between the lines
Bridge
You’ve got no where to run
No where to hide
They keep looking at you,
But they don’t have a clue
What’s inside, they want you on the other side
You’ve got no where to run
No where to hide
They keep looking at you
Hey go back of the queue
On the other side
They want you on the other side.
Chorus
So raise your flags and raise them high
Don’t leave anybody behind
Cause it’s a fight worth fighting for
Show the love you have inside
Don’t leave anybody behind
Cause it’s a fight worth fighting for
2nd verse
You spend your time hiding away
Cause people make you feel ashamed
They’ve got no right to be this way
You’ve got one life it’s time to shine
Love who you are, pull down the blinds
Remove the haters from your mind
Repeat Bridge
Repeat Chorus
