[Intro] [Verse 1] Waking up in the morning, looking in the mirror at my messy hair Wrinkled t-shirt and wide-fit pants past their trend Finished getting ready, stepping out onto the street People subtly dodge and pass me by again today [Verse 2] The blind date I looked forward to ends in rejection again Why is the formula to reading a woman's heart so hard? To a world that judges me easily just by how I look I just smirk it off, because they can't see the real me [Pre-Chorus] Even if everyone clicks their tongue and shakes their head at me The fire burning inside my eyes will never go out [Chorus] Laugh all you want, it's fine, I only walk my own way Because what you see on the outside isn't all of me Even if I take the long way around, slower than the rest My life purpose is clearer and stronger than anyone else's For the day I break out of this shell and soar into the world I keep walking today, solid and true to myself [Verse 3] Rather than the illusion of dressing up in flashy clothes Filling up my inner self from the inside out is what's real Trends or standards created by others I have no mind to match them, my belief is my compass [Verse 4] Even if they fail to see the value of a gem hidden in deep dirt The moment will come when it shines bright when the time is right Taking it slow, solidifying today step by step I'll surprise the world as the most authentic, brilliant version of me [Pre-Chorus] Even if I'm running on an unpaved road today The conviction deep in my heart has never shaken once [Chorus] Laugh all you want, it's fine, I only walk my own way Because what you see on the outside isn't all of me Even if I take the long way around, slower than the rest My life purpose is clearer and stronger than anyone else's For the day I break out of this shell and soar into the world I keep walking today, solid and true to myself [Bridge] Throwing off yesterday's dull and wounded shell I'll stand tall and proud before the world that rejected me The real start begins right now [Chorus] No matter what the world says, I only walk my own way I'll finally show you the real me filled from within Never giving in to the glances of others Running toward a purpose clearer and truer than anyone else's Right today, dusting off this shell and soaring high World, get ready for the newly reborn me [Outro] Goodbye to the messy me of yesterday Into the world, stronger and truer I'll show you the real me, finally complete For the day I am born anew
