Me by Jo Dee Messina

An online friend posted this video on Facebook and the words really spoke to me. When I wrote my blog post yesterday, this was pretty much how I was feeling - even though I wasn't able to really say that. Jo Dee's words speak for me.

I’m somebody’s daughter, somebody’s friend

A shoulder to lean on - no matter when

I’m somebody’s teacher, when they don’t understand

Got a seat in the bleachers, I’m the world’s biggest fan

Oh well

I wish I was half the woman I’ve gotta be

Wish I had all the answers right in front of me

I’m everything to everyone and I’m scared as I can be

When I look into the mirror all I see … is me

I’m somebody’s sweetheart, somebody’s girl

Someone’s direction to find their way in this world

I’ve got to be perfect, even when I feel bad

I’ve got to keep giving when I gave all I had

Oh well

I wish I was half the woman I’ve gotta be

Wish I had all the answers right in front of me

I’m everything to everyone and I’m scared as I can be

When I look into the mirror all I see … is me

When I feel uncertain

I’m on my knees to pray

I know that it’s all worth it

that at the end of the day

Wish I was half the woman I’ve gotta be

I wish I had all the answers right in front of me

I’m everything to everyone and I’m scared as I can be

Cuz when I look into the mirror all I see …

Is somebody’s daughter, somebody’s girl

Someone’s direction to find their way in this world ….
