Free To Be Me
AT TWENTY YEARS OF AGE, I’M STILL LOOKING FOR A DREAM
A WAR’S ALREADY WAGED FOR MY DESTINY
BUT YOU’VE ALREADY WON THE BATTLE
AND YOU’VE GOT GREAT PLANS FOR ME
THOUGH I CAN’T ALWAYS SEE
‘CAUSE I’VE GOT A COUPLE DENTS IN MY FENDER
GOT A COUPLE RIPS IN MY JEANS
TRY TO FIT THE PIECES TOGETHER BUT PERFECTION IS MY ENEMY
ON MY OWN I’M SO CLUMSY
BUT ON YOUR SHOULDERS I CAN SEE I’M FREE TO BE ME
WHEN I WAS JUST A GIRL, I THOUGHT I HAD IT FIGURED OUT
SEE MY LIFE WOULD TURN OUT RIGHT AND I’D MAKE IT HERE SOMEHOW
BUT THINGS DON’T ALWAYS COME THAT EASY
AND SOMETIMES I WOULD DOUBT
‘CAUSE I’VE GOT A COUPLE DENTS IN MY FENDER
GOT A COUPLE RIPS IN MY JEANS
TRY TO FIT THE PIECES TOGETHER BUT PERFECTION IS MY ENEMY
ON MY OWN I’M SO CLUMSY
BUT ON YOUR SHOULDERS I CAN SEE I’M FREE TO BE ME
AND YOU’RE FREE TO BE YOU
SOMETIMES I BELIEVE THAT I CAN DO ANYTHING
YET OTHER TIMES I THINK I’VE GOT NOTHING GOOD TO BRING
BUT YOU LOOK AT MY HEART AND YOU TELL ME
THAT I’VE GOT ALL YOU SEEK
AND IT’S EASY TO BELIEVE, EVEN THOUGH
