You Are You, You Can Never Be Bought

Never give away your identity
To someone you can't trust
It's yours for infinity
Protecting it is a must
You make it special
You make it your own
God made you capable
To care for your every bone
Be who you wanna be
Not someone out of a magazine
Be strong in the name of the Lord
And remember the tongue is mightier than the sword
Be as loud as you want
And laugh more than before
Live you life and soar
You have wings
You might as well use them
You wanna sing!
So make the music come
Dance as crazy as you can
Write down all your thoughts
You don't have to be a genius to understand
That you are YOU ARE YOU and you could never be bought!
