Let Me Be
By Nomar Knight
Let me be who I say I am
Not what you want me to be
Pleasing you got me in a jam
Stole my originality
Let me be what I want to be
Even if you lose face
I own up to responsibility
Your reaction's a disgrace
Let me be different for a change
Not like a robot stuck in time
So your friends call me strange
They never gave us a dime
Let me be a learner in my way
Even if I stumble and fall
Can't protect me every day
You're not talking to a brick wall
Let me be who I'm born to be
Original like sin
Spread my wings and be free
Tired of living in a stranger's skin
Let me be the one to soar
For great heights do await
Raising me wasn't a bore
Please let me meet my fate
