From the recording You're Allowed
Lyrics
You’re looking in the mirror from afar
And you don’t like what you see, or who you are
You wish you were stronger, smarter, prettier too
And you don’t know how you’ll make it through
You’d rather live in someone else's skin
And all you want to do is give in
You feel like there’s nothing, no one to hold your hand
It’s OK, I understand
You’re allowed to walk alone
You’re allowed to fall apart
You’re allowed to feel the beating of your broken heart
You’re allowed to be afraid
You’re allowed to let it show
You’re allowed to not know what to say or where to go
You’re allowed to find your way
To follow your star
Little darling you’re allowed
To be who you are
We don’t know if it’s really worth the climb
And everybody hurts from time to time
But if you need something, someone you can talk to
It’s OK, I’m here for you
You’re allowed to walk alone
You’re allowed to want to cry
You’re allowed to mourn the wishes of the years gone by
You’re allowed to make mistakes
You’re allowed to turn the page
You’re allowed to dream, to live, to laugh, to rant, to rage
You’re allowed to find your way
To follow your star
Little darling you’re allowed
To be who you are
And I am on your side
I will help you through
You will see the beauty that’s inside of you
The cracks that you conceal
The pain you try to hide
You don’t have to keep it all inside
You’re allowed to walk alone
You’re allowed to fall apart
You’re allowed to feel the beating of your broken heart
You’re allowed to be afraid
You’re allowed to let it show
You’re allowed to not know what to say or where to go
You’re allowed to find your way
To follow your star
Hold your head up and be proud
You’re allowed
