Marilou One Voice in a Million lyrics

Innocent little girl
New to a wide world
Will I grow to be what I want to be

Armed with my mother's words
Keep them safe in my pocket
My shield from harm
My soul in her arms

They tell me I'm only one voice in a million
Tell me I'm not good enough to give it a try
And each time I feel close to heaven, they slam the door in my face

I'll give it all, fight for every breath
To be true to myself, can I find simple thing to define
Who am I

Here I am after all
Worked my fingers to the bone
Oh how these long years
Have brought me to tears

And now I look forward
Humble here, the same girl
Plant my flag at the top

And you said I would not

I know I'm only one voice in a million
But one voice is all that I need

I gave it all, fought for every breath
To be true to myself
Cleared my name
Found the reason I am
Who I was
Who I am

Don't show me my flaws imperfections are obvious
Don't need to tell me, I'm not that dumb
So I'll be myself in control of my dreams
How could YOU dare tell me I'm doing it wrong?!

I'll give it all, fight for every step
To be true to myself
Now I've found
Why you tried to destroy who I am
