Defy ©
by William W. Randolph III
Everyone around me
Tryin' to be astounding
Succeeding, only in confounding
Let me make this clear
For everyone to hear
No words or deeds can change the way
You appear from here
It wasn't long ago
I was always tryin' to show
As if I had to prove myself
To those I didn't know
Clarity surprised me
Whan I gave up on fallacy
All the answers that alluded
Were plain for me to see
If you want to be yourself
You must defy
Freedom of expression only comes
To those who try
You must defy
You must defy
You must defy
Look at those around you
Do they know just what they do?
Do you see who they really are?
Or only who they want you to
Some things in life aren't meant to be
But even if you fail
Remember this, if nothing else
It's okay to be yourself
Chorus 2X
