Who You Are
Because They Can Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are one of a kind,
Not afraid to speak your mind,
And you are left all alone,
Because of what you call home,

To set yoreself apart,
And follow your heart,
And do what's right,

Don't ever,
Never,
If forever,
Let yourself go,
Stay true to who you are,

Never,
Ever,
If forever,
Let those dreams fall,
We are in this together,

We are one of a kind,
Not scared and not in line,
We are the leaders of tomorrow,
Face world wars and sorrows,

We may be,
The minority,
We will fight together,
In harmony,
And win that fight,

Don't ever,
Never,
If forever,
Let yourself go,
Stay true to who you are,

Never,
Ever,
If forever,
Let those dreams fall,
We are in this together,

We are one,
One to overcome,
A public enemy,
So take authority,

We are one,
One to overcome,
A public enemy,
So take authority,

Don't ever,
Never,
If forever,
Let yourself go,
Stay true to who you are,

Never,
Ever,
If forever,




Let those dreams fall,
We are in this together,

I'd disown him for a different gay son. Like the level of ego this guy has is incredible and completely denies it. Billie Ellish still talks to her family and she's actually famous. He really needs to step down from that pedestal since it's clearly too much for him fr.
