Start Strong
You've got to Start Strong
Encouraging the Youth to do More
Than ever before
You've got to reach out a helping hand
Because Divided we Fall
But UNITED we STAND
So let's
Stand together
Plan together
Do things
That will make OUR world BETTER

It's either Now or never
We've got to Start fast
Creating a Legacy that is sure to last
For generations to pass
Let your voice be heard
Loud and clear
Spread the word for All to hear
The Evolution of Change
Manifested by Truth
The Latest Revolution
Led by the Youth
We've got to Start Strong and end Stronger
The journey can't be much longer
It's time to
Stop the pain
Stop the shame
Stop the silence
Time for the youth to work together
To promote healthy relationships &
Prevent Teen Dating Violence
