[Verse 1] You can change your hair, you can change your name, Change your whole address, still gonna sin the same. You can dress like a winner, laugh like you're free, But when the last people leave—who do you wanna be? You can chase that money, chase somebody's eyes, Learn how to look happy, learn how to disguise. You can fool every mirror with a version they believe, But when you meet yourself—who do you wanna be? [Pre-Chorus] Do you wanna be wanted? Do you wanna be known? Do you wanna fill a room Or feel full when you're alone? [Chorus] Who do you wanna be? Who do you wanna be? When nobody's watching, And there's nobody to please? Who do you wanna love? What do you wanna leave? You got one life asking— Who do you wanna be? Oh-oh, tell me, tell me, La-da-dee, la-da-dee, You can be anybody— Who do you wanna be? [Verse 2] Do you wanna be fire, or somebody's smoke? Be the one who means it, or the one who only spoke? Do you wanna hold grudges till they hold you instead? Keep feeding old lies till they sleep with you in bed? You can spend your whole life trying to prove somebody wrong, And lose your own voice singing jealousy a song. Every door you open leaves another one behind, So don't just pick a future—be the person you're inside. [Pre-Chorus] Do you wanna be fearless? Do you wanna be kind? Do you wanna make a difference Or just make up people's minds? [Chorus] Who do you wanna be? Who do you wanna be? When nobody's watching, And there's nobody to please? Who do you wanna love? What do you wanna leave? You got one life asking— Who do you wanna be? Oh-oh, tell me, tell me, La-da-dee, la-da-dee, You can be anybody— Who do you wanna be? [Bridge] Maybe you don't know yet. Maybe that's okay. Maybe who you are ain't something that you find— Maybe it's something that you make. With every yes you give, With every no you mean, Every time you walk away From who you used to be. [Final Chorus] Who do you wanna be? Who do you wanna be? Not who they said you should be— Who do you wanna be? Do you wanna be loved? Then love courageously. Do you wanna be free? Then quit asking for the key. Oh-oh, tell me, tell me, La-da-dee, la-da-dee, Tomorrow's gonna meet you— Who do you wanna be? [Outro] Not what do you wanna have, Not what do you wanna see, When everything else falls away— Who do you wanna be?
