[English]

I, I don't wanna pretend

I'm something that I'm not

But I know who I am

Is all I got

You can call me anything

Call me anything at all

Love won't change up anything

Change up what I can become

So I'm breaking free of things that bring me down

I know nothing's gonna keep me on the ground

Yeah, I'm rising up

I got so much more to show

So here I go!

Here I go!

I, I know that I am young

I've got a lot to learn

And anything I want

I've got to earn

So I'll dive into the deep

Dive into the waterfall

And I'll find a way to breathe

Find my head above it all

Oh, yeah

So I'm breaking free of things that bring me down

I know nothing's gonna keep me on the ground

Yeah, I'm rising up

I got so much more to show

So here I go!

Here I go!

I don't wanna be

Anything else but me

I don't wanna be

Anything else but me
