lyrics

In this world that we live in with so many people
It's hard to get by, to feel loved, to be equal
And parents are wanting their kids to be
An image drawn by society
It seems we can't love the ones that we wanna love
And we can't change the minds of the ones above
But somewhere yeah, somewhere yeah, somehow we can take a stand

'Cause everybody wants to be, everybody wants to be
More than a label, a name, or a face, so open your arms at the end of the day
Everybody wants to be, everybody wants to be
True to the feeling of who they are, so open your mind and erase that scar
Why can't we just be loved and seen for who we are?
'Cause everybody wants to be, everyone wants to be ooh free

We hold it close, we seal it up, 'cause feeling trapped is better than feeling unloved
We're angry, fearful, sad, or ashamed, they gotta stop making rules, it's not a game
It seems we can't be the person we wanna be
And we can't get through this insanity
But somewhere yeah, somewhere yeah, somehow we can make a stand

'Cause everybody wants to be, everybody wants to be
More than a label, a name, or a face, so open your arms at the end of the day
Everybody wants to be, everybody wants to be
True to the feeling of who they are, so open your mind and erase that scar
Why can't we just be loved and seen for who we are?
'Cause everybody wants to be, everyone wants to be ooh free

Everybody wants to be, everybody wants to be
More than a label, a name, or a face, so open your arms at the end of the day
Everybody wants to be, everybody wants to be
True to the feeling of who they are, so open your mind and erase that scar
Why can't we just be loved and seen for who we are?
'Cause everybody wants to be, everyone wants to be ooh
Everybody wants to be, everyone wants to be free
