This is Real, This is Me

I've always been the kind of girl
That hid my face
So afraid to tell the world
What I've got to say
But I have this dream
Right inside of me
I'm gonna let it show, it's time
To let you know
To let you know

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light, shine on me
Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

Do you know what it's like
To feel so in the dark
To dream about a life
Where you're the shining star
Even though it seems
Like it's too far away
I have to believe in myself
It's the only way

This is real, This is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light, shine on me
Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you, I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you, I gotta find you

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light, shine on me
Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me (this is me)
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

and since I'm on a Disney/Camp Rock kick today, lets go for a 2fer..

I love this song.. It's a great duet.. Ok so what it's from a Jonas Brother and Demi Lovato. Oh well.. The lyrics are great and I love the message. Plus I will openly admit to having a cougar crush on Joe Jonas ( well ok Nick Jonas too, but not Kevin)..
This is real, this is me, I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be! Well I may not be exactly where I am supposed to be but I'm working on it.. It's time to step up, make some changes and let the world know that I am here and I'm not backing down.. It's my choice, it's my dream and no one can take that from me.

This is my favorite verse from the song..
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you, I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you, I gotta find you

I want to be that.. I want to be the lyrics in someones head. I want to be the reason they are singing.. It's Disney.. it's cheesy.. Get over it! Duh, every girl wants that! To be someone's missing piece? Yes Please! Come find me!

Be yourself, be real be someone's reason for getting up in the morning. But if not be your own reason too!! Have a dream, chase after it. Share it with the world! Let that light shine. Keep it bright, don't let it burn out! Never be afraid to be who you are and never try to be someone you are not. Not for you or anyone else.

Words make you think a thought. Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought.”
