The Voice / Intro Syleena Johnson

[Verse 1]
See, one day I was feelin' low-down
(Was havin') Bad thoughts like I won't be around
(Was thinkin') Maybe I should get out of this game
(I thought that) Nobody wanted to hear me sing
(I thought that) Nobody even knew my name
(I thought that) Maybe 'cause it was I didn't lose weight
(I thought that) I had failed and I felt so ashamed
(And not just) At my music but at everything
(But then my) Mama said "Don't you dare think that way"
(And my) Sisters told me not to lose my faith
(They told me) "Get on your knees and let God lead the way"
(And then I) Closed my eyes and I heard a voice say

[Chorus]
It told me "Stand up"
If you wanna be seen
It told me "Reach out"
So you can catch your dreams
It told me "Cry out"
If you wanna be heard
It told me "Be strong
And take heed to my word"
It told me "Stand up"
If you wanna be seen
It told me "Reach out"
So you can catch your dreams
It told me "Cry out"
If you wanna be heard
It told me "Be strong
And take heed to my word"
