they’ve shunned me
left me here
with my dreams and fears
flying away on polluted air

they’ve said you aren’t like us
and that’s left me thinking
am I who I want to be?

my mind is reeling
my heart’s not feeling like it could feel again
in my head I’m changing who I am
but is that a choice I want to make?

I hear their voices whispering
join us
join me
it’s a fun thing to be
to be like us

and the voice says
hey girl
I know you
and I know what you want
you want power
beauty
and fame to knock on your door
you want to look like me
you want to be like me
and gladly I’ll show how
hand yourself over
be greater
be like us
and be the best there ever was
but I say
no way could I ever be like that
that’s a load of crap your handing me
you want me to forget me
and be something else
you say I’ll be greater
I’ll be best if I’m like you
but if we’re the same no ones better
so I’ll resist
no matter how much it tempts
for I’m stronger
stronger than you and you’re messed up plans for me
I’m stronger than you’ll ever be

my resolve is building
I won’t be the same
as them

my heart is pounding with pain
of rejection
oh and it hurt so bad

but I don’t want to lose myself
and if I’m slipping I’ve got friends who hold true
and won’t be another minion for them

I hear them screaming
be us
be me
it’s a fun thing you’ll see
to join us

and the voice says
hey girl
I know you
and I know what you want
you want power
beauty
and fame to knock on your door
you want to look like me
you want to be like me
and gladly I’ll show how
hand yourself over
be greater
be like us
and be the best there ever was
but I say
no way could I ever be like that
that’s a load of crap your handing me
you want me to forget me
and be something else
you say I’ll be greater
I’ll be best if I’m like you
but if we’re the same no ones better
so I’ll resist
no matter how much it tempts
for I’m stronger
stronger than you and you’re messed up plans for me
I’m stronger than you’ll ever be

I’m stronger
and better in my own way
for I’m unique
and special
something you’ll never be
for you pick sameness
and I think that lame
so I pick strength over you
and it makes me Stronger

so even when the voice says
hey girl
I know you
and I know what you want
you want power
beauty
and fame to knock on your door
you want to look like me
you want to be like me
and gladly I’ll show how
hand yourself over
be greater
be like us
and be the best there ever was
I’ll still say
no way could I ever be like that
That’s a load of crap you’re handing me
you want me to forget me
and be something else
you say I’ll be greater
I’ll be best if I’m like you
but if we’re the same no ones better
so I’ll resist
no matter how much it tempts
for I’m stronger
stronger than you and you’re messed up plans for me
I’m stronger than you’ll ever be

Stronger….
than this world could ever be
