Born That Way Lyrics by Joanie Leeds

Freadom: Songs Inspired by Banned Children’s Books (feat. Regina Carter, Oran Etkin, Cheryl B. Engelhardt, SaulPaul & Divinity Roxx)

2023

[Verse 1]
When she was young, she dreamed that there would be
A castle staircase built for royalty
On every step, a brand new dress to try on
Ten thousand in a hall
When Bailey put on dress number one
A million crystals dancing in the sun
She saw the rainbows reflecting onto the floor
Then she tried on some more
[Chorus]
When you're a dreamer, nobody can take your dreams away
Got to believe it, even if the rain falls when you wake
Just look in the mirror and promise that you won't ever change
So stay the person inside of your heart, you were born that way
[Verse 2]
Next night, she dreamt about the second stair
A gown with flowers was blossoming there
Lilies and roses with honeysuckles' leaves
Oh, the honey was so sweet
Next night, the dress showed windows to foreign lands
Great Wall of China and pyramids
She longed travel and maybe one day she will
Oh, I hope she will, I know she will
[Chorus]
'Cause when you're a dreamer, nobody can take your dreams away
You've got to believe it, even if the rain falls when you wake
Just look in the mirror and promise that you won't ever change
So stay the person inside of your heart, you were born that way
[Bridge]
Sometimes the people who love you the most don't understand, won't lend a hand
Don't let their rain turn your fire to smoke, say "I am who I am!"
[Chorus]
'Cause when you're a dreamer, nobody can take your dreams away
You've got to believe it, even if the rain falls when you wake
Just look in the mirror and promise that you won't ever change
So stay the person inside of your heart, you were born that way
[Outro]
Ooh, stay the person inside of your heart, you were born that way
