I sung this song at my school’s annual pops concert and almost couldn’t keep it in. I want to find a way to send it to her so she can see that I kicked my fear’s ass (singing in front of people) and now I can’t wait to be back on stage again! I almost couldn’t keep it in because this song means so much to me and I hope it means so much to you, too 💕
Her voice is breathtaking during the chorus! You don't hear it so well in the studio version! She is the best I love her so much! :D I just wish she'd release her next single already...

To be I just wanna be myself And I want you to love me for who I am I just wanna be myself And I want you to know I am my hair I've had enough, this is my prayer That I'll die living just as free as my hair I've had enough, this is my prayer That I'll die living just as free as my hair I've had enough, I'm not a freak I just keep fighting to stay cool on these streets I've had enough, enough, enough And this is my prayer, I swear I'm as free as my hair I'm as free as my hair I am my hair I am my hair Free as my hair Free as my hair Sometimes I want some raccoon or red highlights Just because I want my friends to think I'm dynamite And on Friday, Rock City High School dance I've got my bangs to hide that I don't stand a chance A chance I just wanna be myself And I want you to love me for who I am I just wanna be myself And I want you to know I am my hair I've had enough, this is my prayer That I'll die living just as free as my hair I've had enough, this is my prayer That I'll die living just as free as my hair I've had enough, I'm not a freak I just keep fighting to stay cool on these streets I've had enough, enough, enough And this is my prayer, I swear I'm as free as my hair I'm as free as my hair I am my hair I am my hair Free as my hair Free as my hair I just wanna be free, I just wanna be me And I want lots of friends that invite me to their parties Don't wanna change, and I don't wanna be ashamed I'm the spirit of my hair, it's all the glory that I bear I'm my hair, I am my hair I'm my hair, I am my hair I am my hair, I am my hair I am my hair (all the glory that I bear) I'm my hair, I am my hair It's all the glory that I bear I'm my hair, I am my hair I'm my hair, yeah (all the glory that I bear) I'm my hair, yeah (all the glory that I bear) I'm my hair, yeah (all the glory that I bear) My hair, yeah I've had enough, this is my prayer That I'll die living just as free as my hair I've had enough, this is my prayer That I'll die living just as free as my hair I've had enough, I'm not a freak I just keep fighting to stay cool on these streets I've had enough, enough, enough And this is my prayer, I swear I'm as free as my hair I'm as free as my hair (this is my prayer) I am my hair I am my hair Ooh, I'm my hair, I'm
