I'll Show You

One day when
when I'm big and tall
I'll show you my talent

I'll show you what
you suppressed
And be the most I can be

All my life people
never cared what they were doing
And every day they
Kept pushing me farther and farther down

I try so hard to swim back up
but the harsh words keep making me fall
And with the fear in my heart
It makes it too hard to share

And I'll try I'll try
so one day when
When I'm okay with my self
I'll show you my talent

I'll show you what
confidence can bring
Being the best I can be

All my life the world
never seemed to care that a child's dream went down the drain
And every day my community
Ripped and tarred that dream little by little

We try so hard to swim back up
but the harsh words keep making us fall
And with the fear in our hearts
It makes it so hard to share

And when we rise
and when I rise
And when we try to rise

The harsh words keep comin'
and I keep pushin' the falling ceiling
And it's crushing me slowly

But I'll show you
i'll show you my talent
And I'll show you what confidence brings

The fear is still flowing
and I keep swimming against the current
And it's drowning me slowly

But I'll show you
i'll show you what confidence brings
And I'll show you what my talent is

I'll show you
even if I die

I'll tell you
even if I drown

I'll show you
even if I'm crushed

I try so hard to swim back up

but the harsh words keep making me fall
And with the fear in my heart
It makes it too hard to share

So hard…
too hard…
To share

And I'll show you
