Society emphasizes fitting right on in
Hiding who you really are
Even though there’s great beauty held within
Being who we truly are shouldn’t be bizarre
No one came here merely to blend in
We came here for so much more
Shining our true, radiant light is not a sin
Tapping into our inner essence—there’s so much to explore
Take off your mask; there’s no need to hide any longer
It’s time to speak your truth
Now the time to discover and wonder
Much like we did at one time in our youth
Yes, speak your truth, even if you begin to shake
You have great insight deep inside, awaiting to be shared
You never know how much difference your voice will make
If you hold yourself back, scared
You came here for a reason; this I know is true
It’s time to take a chance to find that purpose now
We’re all single, vibrant threads in life’s masterpiece of hues
Take that first step—it’s time for you to allow
Be yourself; you chose this incarnation
There’s no need to be anyone else, of course
They don’t have your unique information
After all, everyone is divine embodiment of Source
