I lived in your shadow
I struggled to grow
Coz I wanted to be like you
And do things you do
Sometimes it bothered me
I wanted to break free
Afraid I'd disappoint you
It left me feeling blue
All I wanted was acceptance
All I wanted was a chance
Just to be who I really am
Afraid you won't love me the same
So I shouldered on against my will
Life turned into a steep hill
It was so impossible to climb
Try to left me totally numb
But somehow you pushed me
To be the best I could be
And discover who I really am
And how to play life's games
