Real

i am what i am
i'm super-fortified, hundred-proof girl with a band
and i'm a velveteen rabbit made of steel with a plan
i'm not your seventeen girl but it's not worth a can
of worms, i'm not your beauty queen
i'm not the girl in glamour magazine
i'm not running for miss popularity
cause i wont be
what i can't be
but i want to be real
i want to find out who i am
and i will find my way to heal
and i will find my voice, my stand
i am who i am
i am woman, hear me roar
and i am salt, i am sand
a million starfish stranded, landed
i'll throw back what i can
i'll save the planet, change the world, i'll make a one girl stand
i've got better things to do than be shown off
i wont be the doll you lock up in a box
don't expect me to be anything i'm not
cause i wont be
what i can't be
but i want to be real
i want to find out who i am
and i will find my way to heal
and i will find my voice, my stand
approval is your sword
popularity your crown
but i'm not one of your subjects
you can't bring me down
you say i lose your approval if i'm not cool like you
well, here's a news flash for you, i've got nothing to lose
your laughter is hollow because i don't care
you look down at me, but i'm not there
i've got nothing to prove and nothing to lose
nothing to prove and nothing to lose
but i want to be real
i want to find out who i am
and i will find my way to heal
and i will find my voice, my stand
but i want to be real
i want to find out who i am
and i will find my way to heal
and i will find my voice, my stand
