Dignity Rising

We don't need another headline,

we don't need another tear,

We gotta stop the violence before it starts right here.

Prevention is the cure,

yeah, let’s heal the heavy heart,

And a brand new bright future

is about to start.

Yeah...

look at the hallway,

see the kids walk by,

You can tell who is hurting if you look them in the

eye. Public school floors where the gossip runs deep,

And a child carries secrets that they’re forced to keep.

Ripped shoes on their feet,

no coat in the cold,

Facing playground bullies making them feel small and old.

But a teacher notices,

yeah, they spot the true need,

They reach out to BFF to plant a better seed.

No loud announcements, no flashing the lights,

We do it under the radar to protect their basic rights.

A secret package waiting right by the desk,

Putting their dignity and confidence straight to the test!

Open up the Dignity Kit!

Brand new shoes that perfectly fit!

A sturdy backpack, a jacket for the storm,

Keeping their spirits protected and warm!

We are teaching young hearts how to stand and believe,

An NVP promise that we wear on our sleeve!

Yeah, prevention is the cure,

let the healing begin,

BFF America, we’re playing to win!

Everyone say it out-loud -I pledge to be nonviolent,

respect my body and protect the earth.

I am NVP. Even the dogs know the pain...

But we’re washing away the rain.

Dignity Kits on the way.

I am NVP.
