Afraid to lose that smile
Afraid to show what it hides
Why be afraid to be the real you
Look in the mirror and see
The true reflection looking back at you
A person who can be loved
If you just be you.
Afraid to open that heart of yours
Afraid to give what it holds
A shame for you to go to waste
With all that locked inside of you
A person who could give so much love
If you just be you.
Don’t be afraid of opening up
Don’t be afraid to show the real you
We see little bits that slip through
When we are looking at the real you
The person who gives so much love
When you ..... are just being you.
