I can be who I am destined to be,
If I could go back and just change my way.
A bright shining star for the world to see.

I’d alter my past, from pain remain free.
Avoid the mistakes I pay for today.
I can be who I am destined to be.

No time for grief in my flawless story.
Temptations all fail to lead me astray.
A bright shining star for the world to see.

Shame and torment now sweeter than honey.
Hateful words never will I give away.
I can be who I am destined to be.

My scripted life full of false grins and glee.
Shall I risk all I am so I can stay  
A bright shining star for the world to see?

Or make choices true, remain ever me?
My light and my dark, endure all I may.
I can be who I am destined to be,
A bright shining star for the world to see.
