On a blank canvas I find escape
Paint brush in hand my dreams take shape
A getaway from this raging ocean
I create my world with strong emotion
For now my drawings do suffice
Creating my perfect paradise
I am passionate, and I believe
I am who I want to see
I am me, just let me be

I like to shoot hoops and swish every one
I practice my overhands just for fun
I go on bike rides, my heart pounding
I think jogs refreshing and grounding
I push myself to my limit
Striving to be the one to win it
I have confidence, and I have faith
I am who I want to see
I am me, just let me be

I like to sing their doubt away
A soaring chorus all through the day
I strum the strings to a happy tune
I know I'll be singing and laughing soon
The lyrics tell me "it's alright"
And with the music I take flight
I am strong, and I achieve
I am who I want to see
I am me, just let me be

My tattoos and piercings make people stare
But I do what I want, and I don't care
I dye my hair and wear dark clothes
Telling me what to do, but no one knows
Still they judge, and make me a clown
I stare defeat in the eye, refuse to back down
I am strong-willed, and I am proud
I am who I want to see
I am me, just let me be

Used to wear make-up and attempt perfection
Wore the latest styles as my protection
At first glance you would never guess
Through all my fake friends and flawlessness
Used to not have a single person, all alone in my shell
Now I have friends who care, and who I can tell
I am beautiful, and I am free
I am who I want to see
I am me, just let me be

In others our dreams we may depend
But we pick up the pieces and learn to mend
Who we are, and what we are
Something truly wonderful
How we move, and how we live
Just completely beautiful
I have a power, I'm one in the world
I am who I want to see
I am me, just let me be
