EVERYBODY TELLS ME,
I should be this way,
Fit into some mold,
and never stray.
But there’s a voice inside,
so clear and strong,
Telling me that's not
where I truly belong.

CHORUS:
EVERYBODY TELLS ME,
but they don’t know my heart,
The dreams I keep,
where I really start.
I’m finding my way
through the sea of noise,
And I'll march to the tune
of my own voice.

The signs all point
down well-trod paths,
Promises of peace,
tears turned into laughs.
But in the quiet
of my mind, I find,
That there's a different
truth, uniquely mine.

So many voices,
and so many claims,
All telling me how
to play their games.
But the passion
of my own desires,
Lights up the sky
like stars on fire.

CHORUS:
EVERYBODY TELLS ME,
but they don’t know my heart,
The dreams I keep,
where I really start.
I’m finding my way
through the sea of noise,
And I'll march to the tune
of my own voice.

I’ve listened so long
to what the loud crowds say,
But now I’m stepping out,
breaking my own way.
‘Cause deep down I know,
I’ve got my own part,
In a Life that's gonna be
a masterpiece of art.

So let them all speak,
let them try to decree,
But I know the man
that I’m meant to be.
EVERYBODY TELLS ME,
but now I see,
The only voice
that guides me is me.

CHORUS:
EVERYBODY TELLS ME,
but they don’t know my heart,
The dreams I keep,
where I really start.
I’m finding my way
through the sea of noise,
And I'll march to the tune
of my own voice.
