Lyrics: Soar
Album: Stripped
Artist: Christina Aguilera
 
When they push, when they pull, tell me, can you hold on?
When they say you should change, can you lift your head high and stay strong?
Will you give up, give in, when your heart’s crying out that it’s wrong?
Will you love you for you at the end of it all?

In life, there’s gonna be times when you’re feeling low
And in your mind, insecurities seems to take control
We start to look outside ourselves for acceptance and approval
We keep forgetting that the one thing we should know is

CHORUS:
Don’t be scared to fly alone, find a path that is your own
Love will open every door it’s in your hands, the world is yours
Don’t hold back and always know all the answers will unfold
What are you waiting for, spread your wings and soar

The boy who wonders is he good enough for them,
Keeps tryin’ to please ’em all but he just never seems to fit in
Then there’s the girl who thinks she’ll never ever be good enough for him,
Keeps tryin’ to change and that’s a game she’ll never win

Now, in life, there’s gonna be times when you’re feeling low
And in your mind, insecurities seem to take control
We start to look outside ourselves for acceptance and approval
We keep forgetting that the one thing we should know is

CHORUS

In the mirror is where she comes face to face with her fears
Her own reflection now foreign to her after all these years
All of her life she has tried to be something besides herself
Now, time has passed and she’s ended up someone else with regret

What is it in us that makes us feel the need to keep pretending?
Gotta let ourselves be

CHORUS (2x)

SPOKEN:
So, what’re you waiting for?
