**SEEN & HEARD** *TARS Awareness Texas Anthem* --- **Verse 1** I’ve been carrying more than they ever knew, Learning courage doing what I had to do. I wasn’t seen, my voice was low, almost silent, But survival taught me how to rise. They called it rare like it meant alone, But not anymore — I found my power, I’ve grown. I’m standing tall where I belong now, This is my truth — hear me now. --- **Pre-Chorus** I’m done asking for permission, Done feeding fear and doubt. I’ve got truth in my bones now — I’m ready, hear me out. --- **Chorus** We are seen. We are heard. Every life, every fight, every voice matters. This is us — we won’t fade. We are here, standing tall, unafraid. We are seen. We are heard. Rare but strong — now watch us rise. --- **Verse 2** I walked roads nobody planned for me, Learned courage step by step. Every fight, every sleepless night, I’m still standing — it’s not over yet. And when I look around, I see your eyes, I see my story in you. What they called small is rising up, And now we’ve got something to prove. --- **Pre-Chorus (Short)** This is louder than fear now, Stronger than doubt tonight. --- **Chorus** We are seen. We are heard. Every life, every fight, every voice matters. This is us — we won’t fade. We are here, standing tall, unafraid. We are seen. We are heard. Rare but strong — now watch us rise. --- Seen! Heard! Say it louder — Seen! Heard! Seen. Heard. --- **Final Chorus** We are seen. We are heard. Every life, every fight, every voice matters. This is us — we won’t fade. We are here, standing tall, unafraid. We are seen. We are heard. Rare but strong — now watch us rise. --- Rare is power. Rare is voice. And we are done being quiet.
