Lyrics
(It's) My Life
Written by Randy Lynch & Tiana Kent
Verse 1
Some say I'm a little crazy, some say I'm a little strange, some think I'm out of my mind.
Always been a little different, dancing to my own tune. But, against the grain is my ride.
Cause you can never stand out if you always fit in. I'll tell you a secret everybody's different, well
If a rainbow was just one color would it still be beautiful?
Black and white is nice but I still need stripes, just to make me comfortable.
Chorus
No matter what they say, I can never be, what the people think that I ought to be, (It's my life.)
It can never be. I can only be the voice inside of me, singing to the key, of another beat,
Written just for me. (It's my life.)
Up down, left right, good day good night. (It's my life.)
I'm doin' just what it looks like. I'm livin' my life. (It's my life.)
Verse 2
No, I'm not picture perfect. I am no fairytale. I'm not your beauty queen. No
I've made mistakes before but that means I took a chance. You only fail if you don't try.
So, every time you tell me everything I can't be. I'll show you just how I can.
If a rainbow was just one color would it still be beautiful?
Black and white is nice, but I need my stripes just to make me comfortable.
Chorus
No matter what they say, I can never be, what the people think that I ought to be, (It's my life.)
It can never be. I can only be the voice inside of me, singing to the key, of another beat,
Written just for me. (It's my life.)
Up down, left right, good day good night. (It's my life.)
I'm doin' just what it looks like. I'm livin' my life. (It's my life.)
Bridge
Challenges come I face them head on. I'm not afraid I gotta be to be strong.
It's what I came for and I'm not losing. It's what I'm made of. I'm gotta do it.
And you can't stop me now.
Chorus (Repeat)
No matter what they say, I can never be, what the people think that I ought to be, (It's my life.)
It can never be. I can only be the voice inside of me, singing to the key, of another beat,
Written just for me. (It's my life.)
Up down, left right, good day good night. (It's my life.)
I'm doin' just what it looks like. I'm livin' my life. (It's my life.)
