They told me who I had to be, A quiet ghost they’d never see. I smiled and bowed, I played along, But silence never made me strong. The mirror showed a spark inside, A dream too wild, too big to hide. What if I fall, what if I fly? I’ll never know unless I try So here I stand, no more disguise, A blaze of hope behind my eyes. The world may turn or cheer my name, But I’ll still shine, all just the same.
