When you were young
Your life wasn't great
You were brought up
With fear and hate
With nobody to help you
Nobody there
You can't remember if
There was anyone to care
You felt alone and lost
At your life's cost
So who are you
Why are you this way
How do you know
The right things to say
How do you feel
How people feel
How do you keep
Yourself so real
You were told many times
How great you were
But some of your life
Seems to be a blur
You don't know how
You survived
But it made you strong
Now that you realised
That all life is precious
Even yours
Even when
Your life you despised
So who are you
Why are you this way
How do you know
The right things to say
How do you feel
How people feel
How do you keep
Yourself so real
You were told
That you were loved
That you were amazing
And then a lot of times
Put aside and shoved
There were many
That didn't like you
For just being who you were
And getting attention
That you never asked for
So they would cause a stir
So who are you
Why are you this way
How do you know
The right things to say
How do you feel
How people feel
How do you keep
Yourself so real
You always wanted to be
Someone great
Who people wouldn't
Misjudge and hate
You wanted to help people
And guide them along
So they could feel better
And make them strong
So they could belong
So who are you
Why are you this way
How do you know
The right things to say
How do you feel
How people feel
How do you keep
Yourself so real
So who are you
You are you
And what your life
Has turned you into
So who are you
Why are you this way
How do you know
The right things to say
How do you feel
How people feel
How do you keep
Yourself so real
