All of my life * I have
watched you
Climbing mountains chasing dreams
All of my life * you gave me everything
But you don't have to give the world to me
Just say you love me as I am, * Say you want me as I am Say I'm someone in your eyes * That's all I want it to be
Oh, just let me go * I know one day if I'm allowed
If I'm allowed * one day I'll make you proud
All of your life * you've taken chances You broke the rules time after time All of your life * you've gone your own way Give me this chance, and I'll go mine
Why can't you say you love me as I am,
Say you want me as I am, Say I'm someone in your eyes That's all I want it to be
Oh, just let me go, I know * one day if I'm allowed If I'm allowed, * one day I'll make you proud
Oh, one day I'll make you proud * Mmm
And trying to please you now * it's all I seem to do
I'm holding my dreams down * it's breaking me in two
I've got to be me now 'cause there's already one of you
I'm on my knees so * help me please
Please don't shoot me down Though you can't see it now
Someday I'll make you proud
