Verse 1
If what I am is what's in me
Then I'll stay strong - that's who I'll be

have a dream I'll follow it
It's up to me to try.

Oh! I'm a keep my head up high
Keep on reaching high
Never gonna quit
I'll be getting stronger.
And nothing's gonna bring me down (no!)
Never gonna stop, gotta go.
Because I know
I'll keep getting stronger.
Bridge 1
And what I am is thoughtful

There's nothing I can't achieve.
Because in myself I believe in oh...
Chorus 2
Gonna keep our heads up high
Keep on reaching high
Never gonna quit
Just keep getting stronger.
And nothing's gonna bring us down (no!)

Bridge 2
What I am is super

what you are is magical
what you are is special
There's nothing I can't achieve.
Because in myself I believe in oh...

Gonna hold my head up high
Keep on reaching high
Never gonna stop
I'll be getting stronger.
Nothing's gonna bring me down (no!)
Never give it up gotta go, oh... yeah...
