Young girls listen here,
The expectations of others won’t matter as long as yourself doesn’t disappear.
The media tells us to be something we are not 
We think if we don’t listen we won’t fit the plot.
We are told how we should look,
What to wear
How to speak, and 
Who to be.
But I’ll always personally disagree.

The truth is we should just stay true to who we are
The logic of this is very simple and will take you very far.
People may look alike or act the same but no one in the world is like you.
Now let me explain,
Follow your heart
Follow your dreams
And be yourself.
Step out and show the world who you really are 
Cause God knows he made you to be a 
Star.
