I hear them talking

I feel their words

Am I a puppet on a string?

 

I hear voices from left and right

Who should I be?

What will they think?

 

Opinions beat me down so low

I don't know what to do

Confusions lurk at every turn

Who does it matter to?

 

My future seems uncertain

This is true, yet false

My future is very clear to me

I have counted all the costs

 

Opinions will always be

Stopping them just isn't so

Letting others control me

Is something I must let go

 

I will spread my wings

I will not be scared

Flight is mine to take

I'll go anywhere.

 

I wish the same for you, my friend

This advice I wish to give

Hear this truth; I swear to you

It will let you truly live

 

Be happy, be free

You are strong, you are steady

Be who you want to be

You are confident; You are ready.
