Skinny misfit with the painted on smile She took the images from pictures on the TV and sighed I wish I could be like the girls I see In the magazines and the TV screens She grew up and found the woman inside And now the tables have turned She finally sleeps at night She looks back on times when she cried and cried Now her light shines bright You should see me smile [Chorus] When I look in the mirror, I like what I see Can you say the same It's such a beautiful thing When you open your heart Don't be afraid the let the world see who you are When I look in the mirror, I like what I see Can you say the same it's such a beautiful thing How the caterpillar turns into a butterfly? She had a case of mistaken identity When she was younger she was busy Tryin' to figure out just who she was Just a girl in world where beauty is only skin deep Then one day she discovered that there's more to this live than just livin' There's really a purpose for me Destiny, ooh the girl, she was me [Repeat Chorus] I know I can do what I wanna do Be what I wanna be If you believe say it with me I know I can do what I wanna do Be what I wanna be If you believe say it with me [Repeat Chorus]
