You Be You, I'll Be Me

YOU BE YOU AND I'LL BE ME

YOU BE YOU AND I'LL BE ME

YOU BE YOU AND I'LL BE ME

YOU BE YOU AND I'LL BE ME

TIMES HAVE CHANGED

MANY YEARS HAVE GONE

I'M NO LONGER A CHILD

I'M SILENT NO MORE

THE WEIGHT IS OFF MY BACK NOW

I'M STANDING ON MY FEET NOW

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE CLOTHES I WEAR

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY I COMB MY HAIR

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT

JUST LET ME BE

YOU BE YOU CAUSE NOW I'M GONNA BE ME

YOU BE YOU AND I'LL BE ME

YOU BE YOU AND I'LL BE ME

YOU BE YOU AND I'LL BE ME

YOU BE YOU AND I'LL BE ME

TIMES HAVE CHANGED

BUT NOT IN YOUR EYES

YOU'RE DENYING THE PAST

AND I DON'T KNOW WHY

IT'S HARD TO MOVE ON

FROM WHERE THIS ALL BEGIN

CAUSE YOU CAN'T PUT NEW WINE

INTO OLD WINE SKIN

NO MORE CONTROLLING ME

NO MORE CHANGING ME

I'M NO LONGER THE SAME

THERE'S NO MORE GAMES

THERE'S NO MORE SHAME

I'M A REAL STRONG WOMAN OHHH AND I MADE IT BY

DEPENDING ON GOD AND YES

DEPENDING ON MY SAVIOR

I'VE WALKED A MIGHTY LONG ROAD

MANY TIMES BY MYSELF

MANY NIGHTS I CRIED

NEVER ASKING WHY

I'M RELEASING ALL OF MY HURT

RELEASING ALL THE PAIN

RELEASING THOSE THINGS

BREAKING ALL THE CHAINS

YOU BE YOU AND I'LL BE ME

CAUSE I'M GOING AFTER

WHAT I WAS DESTINED TO BE

YOU SAY I'LL NEVER BE BLESSED

YOU BETTER WATCH WHAT COMES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH

YOU MAY BE CURSING YOUR OWN HOUSE

I THANK YOU FOR THE THINGS

THAT YOU DID FOR ME

BUT NOW I'M GONE SPREAD MY WINGS

DO WHAT GOD SHOWED ME

2010 WILL BE

A BRAND NEW YEAR

2010 I'LL HAVE

A BRAND NEW SONG

2010 WILL BE A

A NEW BEGINING

2010 YOU'LL SEE

A NEW LENASA

YOU BE YOU AND I'LL BE ME

YOU BE YOU AND I'LL BE ME

YOU BE YOU AND I'LL BE ME

YOU BE YOU AND I'LL BE ME

TO MY MAMA, TO MY DADDY

TO MY SISTERS, AND MY BROTHERS

ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME

SO LET ME BE ME

EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT

OHHH LET ME BE ME
