I look into the mirror and see a different girl Hiding from herself with not a care in the world Her smile pretends to fool, though she chooses to flee If they could only see the tears she cries for help See, I have been that girl, didn't know which way to turn Then one day I turned to me I told myself to wake up, it's gonna be a better day I just got to believe that my dreams won't have to wait At times I lost my mind, had to leave inside And find a way to get over, had to swallow my pride I searched the world for the answers But I've been searching too far Because I've been here all along I'm here to make a statement My place, I'm here to claim it Don't tell me what my name is I know I'm gonna make it, I've come too far to lose it But I gotta, gotta stay focused to find out And find a better me Feels like forever, trying to work it out Sometimes you gotta fail And you know sometimes it'll rain But the sun will come When you think it's all said and done You know you see the light And everything is alright You can do whatever you set your mind to Cause you're all that you need Like I do, just believe You're here to make a statement Don't play me, you're here to claim it You know just what your name is now You're gonna make it, you've come too far to lose it But you gotta, gotta stay focused to find out And find a better you Me, oh me Me, I got to love me I got to know me I got to find me I know what love I've been here all along I'm here to make a statement My place, I'm here to claim it Don't tell me what my name is I know I'm gonna make it I've come too far to lose it But you gotta, gotta stay focused to find out And find a better me Just believe You're here to make a statement Don't play me, you're here to claim it You know just what your name is now You're gonna make it, you've come too far to lose it But you gotta, gotta stay focused to find out And find a better you I'm here to make a statement Don't play me, I'm here to claim it Don't tell me what my name is I know I'm gonna make it I've come too far to lose it But you gotta, gotta stay focused to find out And find a better me
