It´s my life!
You set the bar too high
Your expectations have become my failure
A shell you see so shallow but deep inside (deep inside)
My heart beats just the same as yours
The same blood through these clean veins
Can´t you see that I´m in pain
It seems my life is always under par

What can I say to change your mind about what I am
others can see what was hidden from your sight
A kid with courage and heart and his eyes open wide
An inner beauty and a bright light

My focus is not yours
I set my sights on new horizons and let my soul have scope
Can´t you see that I have my own dreams (my own dreams)
And though they´re not the same as yours
They hold value to me, tell me why can´t you see
I´m not the means to mend your past regrets

What can I say to change your mind about what I am
Others can see what was hidden from your sight
A kid with courage and heart and his eyes open wide
An inner beauty and a bright light

Judged for how I look, not for the good that I have done
I try the best I can, but it seems that I´m not the perfect son
Shaped by God, and my volition
And the seeds that you have sown
But I ask you once again
When does my life become my own?

I have my own!...
Let´s go!
My own...

What can I say to change your mind about what I am
Others can see what was hidden from your sight
A kid with courage and heart and his eyes open wide
An inner beauty and a bright light
