An image of another world another you
Caught up in between
What others want and what you need
Ain’t always the same truth
Or the same dream
Don’t push aside all that you feel
Reveal what’s on your mind
Be proud to be different
To be you
Where are you gonna run to
When there’s no more place to hide?
Time to let your true colors
Show
How every tear has made you stronger than before
Even with your scars you’re still so beautiful
No one can deny
Have faith have pride in “you”
Hey yeah
In “you”
Cause I am…
I am [I]
Not any other
I am [I]
Nobody else
I am [I]
Not any other
I am [I]
Nobody else
Every road you take
And choice you make
Defines you
Hold your ground
Realize
The more you go your way
The more you’ll likely change their minds
Time to let your true feelings
Show
How far you’ve come and how much farther you can go
Everyone’s unique and each so beautiful
You deserve to shine
Have faith have pride in “you”
Hey yeah
In “you”
Cause I am…
I am [I]
Not any other
I am [I]
Nobody else
I am [I]
Not any other
I am [I]
Nobody else
