Don't Deny Lyrics

The dainty blue dress wouldn't stray from the formica drawer

Dolls with green eyes would stay hidden away on the floor

They'd never felt like the girl people said they had to be

Decidedly different, and falling quite far from the tree

Dodging the mocking of those who won't understand

Depressed and repressed, feeling helpless they reach out a hand

Don't deny who you are

No need to hide. Throw the mask down

Value what you bring and be who you're meant to be

Don't deny who you are

Don't deny who you are

Just rise above all the name calls

Show them who you are and not who they're wanting

Don't deny who you are

Crippled with fear like a startled brown deer in the forest light

Did they need fixing? People have to be so impolite

If work find out will they get dropped like a hot heavy stone

Living your truth now is much better than lying alone

Dodging the mocking of those who won't understand

Depressed and repressed, feeling helpless they reach out a hand

Don't deny who you are

No need to hide. Throw the mask down

Value what you bring and be who you're meant to be

Don't deny who you are

Don't deny who you are

Just rise above all the name calls

Show them who you are and not who they're wanting

Don't deny who you are
