This Is Me

Lyrics

Been a boy scout and a choir boy Been a number and a name A government statistic Been a player in the game Been a piggy in the middle A face out in the crowd All of that was someone else Now I'm saying it out loud Been a bouncing little baby The apple of their eye Been a hero and a villain I've been proud and I've been shy Been the dunce out in the corner I've been the teacher's pet But if you think you know me You ain't seen nothing yet For the first time not the last time This is me, it's really me Taking off thе mask right now Stepping up to take a bow Can you hear mе, sending signals This is me, it's really me Making waves and making vows Stepping up to take a bow I've been a heap of trouble Been a bundle of joy I've done good and I've done bad things I've been happy, been a sad boy But don't lay an image on me I've known love and I've known hate I've been going round in circles Now it's time to get things straight For the first time not the last time This is me, it's really me Taking off the mask right now Stepping up to take a bow Can you hear me, sending signals This is me, it's really me Making waves and making vows Stepping up to take a bow I've been organised and supervised and analysed and patronised Criticised and pressurised and hypnotised and compromised For the first time not the last time This is me, it's really me Taking off the mask right now Stepping up to take a bow Can you hear me, sending signals This is me, it's really me Making waves and making vows Stepping up to take a bow
