lilly mandrell - Dare to be You.

Always second best.
Caught up in the shadow
Of someone else’s life.
Never living your own.

Try to brake out of this box
It keeps getting smaller.
Sucking all the air out.
Getting smaller and smaller, louder and louder.

Living someone else’s dream.
Afraid to live your own.
Incapable of true happiness.
Because when you are, its not your one life.

Live YOUR life.
Be YOU.
Do YOUR OWN thing.
Dare to be NEW.

Don’t let them tell you who to be.
Cuz they don’t know what you want.
Only you can say what’s best.
Let you be you.
