Who Says

All the lies that I hear

All the whispers in my head

Telling me I won't make it

I better give up instead

It's far too challenging

Halt while I still can

Choose an easier path

They'll find a better man

It's not worth my time

I'm not enough anyway

It costs too much money

Find a simpler way

I've got to stop listening

To the negatives I hear

Push past their expectations 

Say no to my fear

Where did it come from

These limits on my worth

It's not something I came with

From the moment of my birth

I'm capable of far greater

Who decided anyway

That I wasn't made stronger

Than their feeble minds can say

I must decide not to listen

To discouragement and jest

See I have something to offer

That doesn't come from all the rest

Of those who thought me nothing

More than a sweet girl

But I've gotten something wild

Dearly needed by this world

I will stand up and say

My voice must now be heard

It's time to silence the doubters

Show the power of my word

It takes just a moment

For me to finally see

Those voices telling me I couldn't

Those voices were me
