Lyrics:
When you need to run away\\nFrom what other people say\\nYour enemy might be your own mind\\n\nA smile, a hug, a little praise\\nYou haven't received for days\\nFor long you feel mistreated\\n\nIn a world where the poems sound fake\\nAnd the love is replaced by the fame\\n\nA million hearts of a million people\\nBe proud, you were born to be real\\nA million lies in a million temples\\nIt's only fear, become a pioneer\\n\nYou've been weird, been a mess\\nThey don't know how to value uniqueness\\nSo they turn their heads away, away\\n\nWhen there no more products to sell\\nEveryone will cast their own spell\\n\nA million hearts of a million people\\nBe proud, you were born to be real\\nA million lies in a million temples\\nIt's only fear, become a pioneer\\n\nNo right time, no right place\\nTo meet your inner grace\\nApproval is found within\\n\nA million hearts of a million people\\nBe proud, you were born to be real\\nNo right time, no right place, yeah\\nA million lies in a million temples\\nIt's only fear, become a pioneer\\n\nYou should know, you should know\\nOh, you should know, you should know
