Testo This Is Life

For 18 years I've been trying To find a place in this world where I belong And all this time I've been hiding Don't want the world to see the real me So when I smile I am crying 'Cause all my laughter is tears turned inside out The only thing I take pride in Is that I´m not afraid to come out and say If anybody can see me Just raise your hands and shine a light If anyody can hear me Just raise your voice and shout it out This is life This is life And all these I've been waiting For something better than this to come along So many things I´ve forsaken Just to make you see The real me If anybody can see me Just raise your hands and shine a light If anyody can hear me Just raise your voice and shout it out This is life This is life I've been lost at times I've been down and out Been in over my head 'Cause of things that I said Look me straight in the eye You'll see no disguise 'Cause I've realized This is life If anybody can see me Just raise your hands and shine a light If anyody can hear me Just raise your voice and shout it out This is life This is life This is life This is life
