"Stand Out" lyrics
(from "Rags" soundtrack)
When I see myself in the mirror
Is this really me?
When I take off all my make-up
That's the person I should be
See I know once they get to know me
Then they'll see what I see
I'll make 'em all believe the story
And let them know that I’m the lead
On this day I'll finally listen to what's been calling me
All it takes is letting go of whatever people think of me
This way I'll stand out and break away to be free
Happiness is what I can't live without
It's time to stand out (oh oh, oh oh)
It's time to stand out (oh oh, oh oh)
It's time to stand out
I'm a bird that's learning to fly now
I'm getting better everyday
And there's no taking the time out, yeah
'Cause I've got too much to change
On this day I'll finally listen to what's been calling me
All it takes is letting go of whatever people think of me
This way I'll stand out and break away to be free
Happiness is what I can't live without
It's time to stand out (oh oh, oh oh)
It's time to stand out (oh oh, oh oh)
It's time to stand out
I'm holding on to what's real
That's what matters to me
I'm still searching for me
I'll search and do anything that I can
I've made up my mind
I will take a stand
On this day I'll finally listen to what's been calling me
All it takes is letting go of whatever people think of me
This way I'll stand out and break away to be free
Happiness is what I can't live without
It's time to stand out (oh yeah yeah yeah)
It's time to stand out (oh oh, oh oh)
It's time to stand out
Is this really me?
When I take off all my make-up
That's the person I should be
See I know once they get to know me
Then they'll see what I see
I'll make 'em all believe the story
And let them know that I’m the lead
On this day I'll finally listen to what's been calling me
All it takes is letting go of whatever people think of me
This way I'll stand out and break away to be free
Happiness is what I can't live without
It's time to stand out (oh oh, oh oh)
It's time to stand out (oh oh, oh oh)
It's time to stand out
I'm a bird that's learning to fly now
I'm getting better everyday
And there's no taking the time out, yeah
'Cause I've got too much to change
On this day I'll finally listen to what's been calling me
All it takes is letting go of whatever people think of me
This way I'll stand out and break away to be free
Happiness is what I can't live without
It's time to stand out (oh oh, oh oh)
It's time to stand out (oh oh, oh oh)
It's time to stand out
I'm holding on to what's real
That's what matters to me
I'm still searching for me
I'll search and do anything that I can
I've made up my mind
I will take a stand
On this day I'll finally listen to what's been calling me
All it takes is letting go of whatever people think of me
This way I'll stand out and break away to be free
Happiness is what I can't live without
It's time to stand out (oh yeah yeah yeah)
It's time to stand out (oh oh, oh oh)
It's time to stand out
