Song Lyrics View: Normal
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh. (x 2)
Got something to say, got a difference to make,
A part I can play and a role I can take,
I believe in myself, express how I feel,
I like who I am and I’m keepin’ it real.
Raise my voice, make a noise,
’Cos we’re all havin’ fun with it. (Fun with it.)
Can’t you see, this is me
And it’s OK to go for it. (Go for it.)
Raise my voice, make a noise,
’Cos we’re all havin’ fun with it. (Fun with it.)
Can’t you see, this is me
And it’s OK to go for it.
Makes me wanna sing!
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh. (x2)
I want to be strong, live long and be safe.
My generation has something to say,
So much to learn, enjoy and achieve.
I reach for my goal to be all I can be.
Raise my voice, make a noise,
’Cos we’re all havin’ fun with it. (Fun with it.)
Can’t you see, this is me
And it’s OK to go for it. (Go for it.)
Raise my voice, make a noise,
’Cos we’re all havin’ fun with it. (Fun with it.)
Can’t you see, this is me
And it’s OK to go for it.
Makes me wanna sing!
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh. (x 2)
(Chanted) BULLYING? NO!
WORK TOGETHER? YES!
HIDE MYSELF? NO!
BE ME? YEAH!
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh. (x 2)
Strong side by side, we lift those who fall,
Stand by our friends and we hear when they call.
Let’s all make a change, all play our part,
It takes you and me, and here’s where it starts:
Raise my voice, make a noise,
’Cos we’re all havin’ fun with it. (Fun with it.)
Can’t you see, this is me
And it’s OK to go for it. (Go for it.)
Raise my voice, make a noise,
’Cos we’re all havin’ fun with it. (Fun with it.)
Can’t you see, this is me
And it’s OK to go for it.
Makes me wanna sing!
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh. (x 4)

I found the you tube video link quite easily. I love this song and I am going to use it September with my new wider opportunities groups.....Can't wait! I downloaded the video off you tube (it asks you if you want to download it at the top of the video) onto the real player on my laptop so the children can see the actions too. Hope this helps you other teachers who found it difficult.

Hi Mrs Roberson and Mrs Solecki! You can find the video link in the Teaching Song Guides, or go to our YouTube channel where you can find videos for other songs too! www.youtube.com/SingUp
If you have a look in our FAQs at the bottom of each page, you'll find some advice about using YouTube in schools. At the moment we use YouTube because it is accessible and free, which means that we can devote our resources into producing more songs for the Song Bank and the magazine!

I have tried all possible parts of your web site for video. Watched it on youtube but we can't use that at our school either. Have to agree with others, your web site needs some work!
