Recently, our older students have been singing Katy Perry’s song “Roar”.  Here is what they are saying…

Alessandro:  “You held me down” is referring to her mind thinking negative comments about herself.

Lauren:  I think the “you” in this song is anxiety and fear…..(Katy) realizes that she needs to stand up against her own fear.

Austin:  The song is about standing up for yourself and for having the courage to do what’s right, take charge and you can be the one that makes a difference by finding the power that is in yourself.

Nicola:  The lion represents bravery & courage.  The tiger represents strength & independence.  The butterly represents what she has become.  The bee represents the power that she has now.

Leah:  This song is about breaking out of the shell you have been hiding in…finding the courage to stand up and be noticed…being strong!
