Honest Me

I face the brand new day
Head clear and smiling face
Don't question who
I am
The sun it warms my skin
And a fresh start begins
A future bright and tall

Sure they might think I'm crazy
For staying in this old and dried up town
But I know they need me so
So how can I just go
My place is right here waiting
Right here where I am

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, whoa, oh

All these smiling faces
All these worn down places
Don't judge me they don't
Tell me who to be
No frilly expectations
No lies, no false pretenses
This is where
I can be so honestly
Just honest me

There's some I've met around
Who try to hold me down
There's hate within their hearts
No matter what it takes
I'll never bend or break
I will stay proud and strong

I won't wear the mask they've made
No I will not be swayed
By those who say "no"
Their words won't leave a scar
They don't change who you are
My place is
Right here waiting
Right here where I am

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, whoa, oh

All these smiling faces
All these worn down places
Don't judge me they don't
Tell me who to be
No frilly expectations
No lies, no false pretenses
This is where
I can be so honestly
Just honest me...

All these smiling faces
All these worn down places
Don't judge me they don't
Tell me who to be
No frilly expectations
No lies, no false pretenses
This is where
I can be so honestly
Just honest me.
