About the Song
I love to dance, I love to sing
Watching sports is not my thing
Sometimes I’m shy, people think I’m uptight
I’ve got to be me and that’s alright
(in C) F - G - / C - F - / Am - G - / F - G -
Be who you are, be brave, be loud
Be who you are, be bold, be proud
Speak up for yourself, don’t follow the crowd
Just be who you are
C F G - / C Em G - / C F G - / /
I have a friend, loves to wear a dress
His parents were distressed
He had it rough, in this cold world
But now she’s a brand-new girl
Alex comes from a little town
But they’re living in the city now
Everyone used to stop and stare
But now they’ve got friends who care
My friend came here from far away
Learning English day by day
The family left their home in fear
I said “You are welcome here.”
(bridge) Speak your language, learn in your own way
Discover new things as you play
Bring more love to those you see
And make your own family
C - G - / Am - G - ://
(Additional Verse - instead of 2nd or 3rd Verse above:)
Monica feels like she’s too tall
She’s the best at basketball
I think it’s cool that she’s up so high
And it seems like she can touch the sky
