Real Me
by Trance Blackman & Carly Thomas (Gypsy Butterfly)
I was trying to find my own place
Wondering where I'd fit in
Playing your game didn't work for me
So I made my own rules to win
A small child with such big dreams
Lost in a world of fear
No one to come stand beside me
To show me that they believed
Now I believe
CHORUS
I was good enough just being me
Who I was and what was inside
Good enough just being me
And that's something just couldn't see
The real me
Oh, the real me
An angel came and touched my pain
Showing me someone cared
Leaving a life far behind me
That no one even seemed to share
Now I compare
CHORUS
INST. BREAK
BRIDGE
Good enough
Yes I was good enough
CHORUS
I'm good enough just being me
Who I am and what is inside
I'm good enough just being me
And it's something I want the world to see
Yeah, the real me
Yeah, the real me
Oh, the real me
