I've always been the kind of girl
That hid my face
So afraid to tell the world
What I've got to say
But I have this dream 
Bright inside of me
I'm gonna let it show 
It's time 
To let you know

This is real, this is me 
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light
Shine on me
Now I've found
Who I am 
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me

Do you know what it's like to feel so in the dark?
To dream about a life where you're the shining star
Even though it seems
Like it's too far away
I have to believe in myself
It's the only way

This is real, this is me 
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light
Shine on me
Now I've found
Who I am 
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me

You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now 
Gonna let the light
Shine on me, yeah
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me

This is me
Now I've found
Who I am
There's no way to hold it in
This is me
