I wish you could hear my thoughts
And dream my dreams
See the world through my yes
And see the real me
The real me
Not the me you think you see

Not the cowering, frightened girl
Not the girl with fresh wept tears
I am strong, I am happy
I am without fears
The real me
I’m the one who’s here

You say I’m sad and hate myself
But who are you to say
You don’t see me when I’m happy
You don’t see me when I pray
The real me
The me who’s here to stay

I wish you could see the sky
From my point of view
Appreciate the beauty
Of every single hue
The real me
Oh if you only knew

You wouldn’t think I’m negative
If you could see me dream
If you could see my loving thoughts
And my soul that gleams
The real me
I am so many things

I am not who you say I am
For I am proud of me
If only you could see the truth
And not the me you see
The real me
What a lovely thing to be
