Who Says
I don't have to be afraid
I'm not a slave to my emotions
it may feel like I'm drowning
but I'm not scared of the ocean
seas of people surrounding me
i used to be so scared of what they would think of me
now I don't care
cuz I'm free
free to be me
no more hand me downs
i'm my own person now
and it feels so great
to express myself
and now I know that I'm free to be me
I can relate to the shadow kids
scared of the light always ready to fly
i know how it feels to be constantly running
but they don't have to do that anymore
cuz who says we can't be ourselves
and who says we have to be someone else
who says we have to hide in the dark and mask who we are
yes who says
we're all special on some way
don't forget that today won't last forever
so make it count
and live your life
cuz who says you can't be yourself
and who says you have to someone else
learn to love who you are
stop hiding in the dark
be yourself and no one else
cuz who says you have to act like the others
Just be yourself be yourself
yeah who says
