I remember when I was afraid to really speak my mind So many times I would pretend Everything was working out just fine Though I hurt inside But you're the gentle voice that healed me The reflection of my soul, I can't hide Who I am You always loved me just for Who I am (For who I am) You were always there to Understand And when I was in doubt You taught me to be proud of who I am (For who I am) Hey, yeah Hey, yeah I was alone I always felt so out there on my own Never at home With myself Or, for that matter, anybody else I just didn't know That you would be the inspiration You're the one who helped me find (You helped me find) Who I am You always loved me just for Who I am (For whom I am) You were always there to Understand Oh, when I was in doubt You taught me to be proud You're the reason, the one Who was there for me In my darkest hour You taught me to believe In who I am You always loved me just for Who I am (For who I am) You were always there to Understand When I was in doubt You taught me to be proud Of who I am (For who I am) Of who I am
