Lyrics

Social expectation drowns us all inside. What you have should be what I want, cause what I have just ain't alright. The clothes I wear, the way I comb my hair, how I live, oh I don't care. This is who I am, this is me, nothing ever changing. Can't you see who I am? Just let me be, cause like it or not, God loves me. Who I am, who I am, who I am. He said, she said they all did, was expected of them all. To get to the top don't matter, if somebody's gotta fall. You gotta brace the storm, the norm is to conform. Get what you want's gonna kill us all. This is who I am, this is me, nothing ever changing. Can't you see who I am? Just let me be, cause like it or not, God loves me. Who I am, who I am, who I am. Beyond the body that you see, there's so much more. And I feel best when my soul is free. This is who I am, this is me, nothing ever changing. Can't you see who I am? Just let me be, cause like it or not, God loves me. Who I am, this is me, nothing ever changing. Can't you see who I am? Just let me be, cause like it or not, God loves me. Who I am, who I am, who I am. They tell me this is the way that I need to reform. If I continue to stray, I'm gonna start off a storm. Wear this, grab that, like this, not that. Don't dare, lose track, or you'll fall way back. But if my Lord loves me, then I know that I'm free. You can say what you want, just let me be. I know if I'm real and it's not a disguise. You love who I am, if you open up your eyes. I insist that you see, I ain't a mystery. It's who I wish to be, your best is me. It's what's true within, come and look again. Looking through the skin, who I am. This is who I am, this is me. Nothing ever changing. Can't you see who I am? Just let me be, cause like it or not, God loves me. Who I am, who I am, who I am. This is who I am, this is me. Nothing ever changing. Can't you see who I am? Just let me be, cause like it or not, God loves me. Who I am, who I am, who I am. This is who I am, this is me. Nothing ever changing. Can't you see? This is who I am, just let me be. Cause like it or not, God loves me. Who I am, who I am, who I am. This is who I am, this is me. Nothing ever changing. Can't you see who I am? Just let me be, cause like it or not, God loves me. Who I am, who I am, who I am.
Thank you.
