I'm Here, I am Real, I am Me

Everybody wants to find their place in this world Everybody wants to matter Everybody needs to have their moment to shine Before the illusion shatters Everybody needs to have somebody to love Everybody needs to be loved Everybody's trying to make the best of this life But it's hard when push comes to shove I know that it can be hard When life deals you a bad card Why should anyone think I am special I'll be damned if I give up When I'm low I rise above I'm here I am real There is no one else like me There's no one else I wanna be I have the strength that I have been searching for I have passed this self doubt test I think this says it the best I'm here I am real I am me You see a girl and wonder what your life could've been Hindsight is always clearer You see a boy and thank the lord that you're not with him The love at home you hold much dearer Would I be better off if I was like the rich man Would my days and nights be happier Is my own selfishness causing me to write with this pen In the long run what really matters I know that it can be hard When life deals you a bad card Why should anyone think I am special I'll be damned if I give up When I'm low I rise above I'm here I am real There is no one else like me There's no one else I wanna be I have the strength that I have been searching for I have passed this self doubt test I think this says it the best I'm here I am real I am me I know that it can be hard When life deals you a bad card Why should anyone think I am special I'll be damned if I give up When I'm low I rise above I'm here I am real There is no one else like me There's no one else I wanna be I have the strength that I have been searching for I have passed this self doubt test I think this says it the best I'm here I am real I am me
