They talk, they stare, they draw their lines
But none of them live in this heart of mine
I’ve walked through fire just to find
The voice that’s always been inside
No need to prove, no need to hide
I’m done with shrinking to fit their eyes
Let me be, let me shine
I’m not here to fall in line
Their words can’t cage what’s wild and free
I’m more than what they choose to see
Let me dream, let me breathe
I’ve got nothing left to need
I’ll face this world, unapologetically
With love for who I’m meant to be
They say be softer, say be small
But I was born to stand up tall
Each scar I wear, a badge of grace
I walk my truth at my own pace
If they leave, if they stay
It won't change who I am today
Let me be, let me rise
Their silence won’t dim my skies
I’ll stand alone or stand with few
But I’ll stand strong, and I’ll stand true
