Hidden just underneath scratch the surface ,you'll see There's a whole other me just waiting to be freed Kept at bay for all time in the corner of my mind It's been a secret for years but now the time is here Once dark and enclosed it's raw and it's exposed Rising up like a flame wild fire burning, insane This brightness inside me it struggles to be free This shadow on my face instantly erased Here now and forever more I can no longer be ignored I won't be held down feet on solid ground This person you now see this is really me

The Real Me
Hidden just underneath scratch the surface ,you'll see There's a whole other me just waiting to be freed Kept at bay for all time in the corner of my mind It's been a secret for years but now the time is here Once dark and enclosed it's raw and it's exposed Rising up like a flame wild fire burning, insane This brightness inside me it struggles to be free This shadow on my face instantly erased Here now and forever more I can no longer be ignored I won't be held down feet on solid ground This person you now see this is really me
So often people chose to fit another's mold. Break free of the confinement and shine !
