Your Own Person

Story Behind The Song

This song was written about my teen daughter who is in high school. We all remember trying to fit in and dealing with peer pressure. But I try to tell her through the song it's ok to be your own person.

Lyrics

You want to be your own person
you wanna do what you gonna do

You gotta be the only person
doin all the things that you do

Nobody ever look quite like you
Make yourself the one and only you

You think everybody's looking at you
But everybody feels just like you do

(chorus)
Everybody everywhere
come on sing the song
Sing it in your own voice
sing it all night long
Leave your hair the way it is
your nose and body too
Your perfect just the way you are
that?s what makes you you

You don't want to take nobody's lesson
You'll be learning lessons on your own

No ones gonna tell you what your missin
You're not gonna miss another show

Late at night you sit up in your bedroom
Wonder if its worth it not to care

All those people they just want to love you
You've been too blind to know they're there.
