I look into the mirror There's a stranger staring through the black A face I've seen a thousand times But she never looks back I search deep in those eyes For something I lost there And softly ask the stranger Who am I? I open up my notebook It lets my silence end The words come with my tears Sometimes words are my best friends Can I see what's underneath? There's a whole world inside of me Trying to break free I'm trying to show the world Who I am And who I'm going to be I don't have to hide There's a beautiful voice Standing silently inside Standing silently inside I hear the songs so differently I know people think I'm strange I almost start believing them And wish that I could change But when I start to sing again The song becomes my own And every word I couldn't say Finally finds its home Pain can make me cry Fear can make me wonder why I ever doubt who I am It can tear my heart apart And somehow, it's all that's alive inside Can I see what's underneath? There's a beautiful world inside Trying to break free I want to break loose and be free And become who I'm meant to be My love doesn't have to hide I hear a beautiful voice inside Some days I can't find myself Some days I try to disappear But I can hear my own voice now And maybe that's all I've ever needed to hear I don't know how to love myself The way some people do But I'm beginning to see There's a place for love in me, too I see the light a little more Than I did as that frightened little girl Who used to hide behind the door I'm learning how to stand tall now Through all these songs inside me With a pen as my voice I can set my whole world free I'm growing And becoming more I don't have to be perfect yet I don't have to be stronger That's all I need to be Just me
