Who

Who are you to say i can't

Who are you to say no to me 

Who are you to say I'm not fit for sports 

or not pretty enough to have friends

Who are you to say i can't dream

Who

Who

Who are you tell me these rude things 

 

I'll tell you "Who you are"

Your a lonely soul with a broken dream

and with no good intention unless redeemed 

Its not my fault I have a dream 

My mind isn't perfect , but neither am I

You tell me I cant accomplish anything

You tell me no to the simplest things

You say no to me but i say yes

yes 

yes

yes

I'm a young lady with determination 

yes, a young lady

a young lady 

 

You look at me with great disgust

When i step on to the mat

We are different in many ways

Your tall and slim with a perfectionist glow

You make faces while you laugh at me

I know I'm short and chubby

but i have a good soul 

I know I'm not perfect 

but who are you to say so

 

I'm a young lady with determination

Yes, a young lady

a young lady

 

I dream many dreams

but for you they seem unreal 

I dream  many dreams to make them real

but who are you to say i cant dream

I know I'm not perfect

but neither are you 

So dream many dreams

For dreams are meant to be real

but dream in color so they can be real

 

I'm a young lady with determination

yes, a young lady

a young lady

Who sees the light throughout the darkness of night
