All of my life I have watched you climbing mountains, chasing dreams
All of my life you gave me everything, but you don't have to give the world to me
Just say you love me as I am, say you want me as I am
Say I'm someone in your eyes it's all I wanted to be
Oh just let me go I know, one day, if I'm aloud, if I'm aloud one day I'll make you proud
All of your life you've taken chances, you broke the rules time after time
All of your life you've gone your own way so give me this chance and I'll go mine
Why can't you say you love as I am, say you want me as I am
Say I'm someone in your eyes it's all I wanted to be
Oh just let me go I know, one day, if I'm aloud, if I'm aloud one day I'll make you proud
Oh one day I'll make you proud
And trying to please you now is all I seem to do
I'm holding my dreams down, it's breaking me in two
I've got to be me now
Cause there's already one of you
I'm on my knees so help me please
Please don't shoot me down cause
Though you can't see it someday I'll make you proud
