Today, today is the day
I'm waking up to say I'm tired of the way
The way that I change
I rearrange myself to be someone that everybody loves
So I become someone I'm not
Who am I gonna be when nobody's watching me?
I want to be real
What am I gonna do to live what I know is true?
I let go
And ohhh, I've been someone else
God, I'm ready to be myself
(Whoa, whoa)
Now, now is the time
To open up my eyes and see what I will find
I find I made up my mind
To be someone that everybody loved
So I became someone I'm not
Who am I gonna be when nobody's watching me?
I want to be real
What am I gonna do to live what I know is true?
I let go
And ohhh, I've been someone else
I'm ready to be myself
I wanna be something more
Than a man who needs to be adored
It shouldn't matter to me
And with every breath that I have left
I'm gonna breathe it out, hoping that He says, "You've done well"
Who am I gonna be?
What am I gonna do?
Whoa, yeah
So who am I gonna be?
Who am I gonna be?
Whoa, who am I gonna be when nobody's watching me?
I want to be real
What am I gonna do to live what I know is true?
I let go
Ohhh, I've been someone
Ohhh, I've been someone
Ohhh, I've been someone else
God, I'm ready to be myself
(Whoa, whoa)
God, I'm ready to be myself
