Truly Be You


Take a breath and face the crowd

no one knows who you are now

A queen, a king, a wizard, a bee

you are who you chose to be

 

No one tells you that you have to be calm

No one tells you that you have to belong

No one tells you that what you say is wrong

No one tells you not to sing your song

 

The character you play is not you

You are someone completely new

The part you play has never been seen

It's something only you can dream

 

So let it out

Say your part

All of it comes from the heart

the anger, the sorrow, the passion, the joy-

it's a part of you that needs to be free 

 

And when you leave,

 and go back to being you,

You're changed-

You're happy,

and you let it all out

 

The stage is freedom

The stage is life

The stage is where you let it all out

The stage is where your dreams come true

The stage is where behind a chacter,

you can truly be you
