Neil Staines - I Don't Want To Hide Lyrics

I grew up in a country
Where the theme was madly mad
I always felt I was different
But I couldn't show it then

So I hid away that special part of me
And put on a face that they wanted to see
Now I don't want to hide
I'll show them who I am

There's always been a part of me
That they didn't understand
I don't want to hide
I just want to be me

Now I will show the world
How I am really meant to be
I don't want to hide
I don't want to hide

I suffered with my secret
I hid away that part of me
And I smiled and told stories
To cover up what they couldn't see

Now I've got the strength to finally be free
And show the world around that special side of me
Now I don't wanna hide
I'll show them who I am
There's always been a part of me
They didn't understand

I'm not gonna hide
I just want to be me
Now I will show the world
How I am really meant to be
I don't want to hide
I don't want to hide

So I'll share my truth and open up my heart
There's a lot to do but this is where I start

Cause I'm not gonna hide
I'll show them who I am
Now they can see that part of me
And they might understand

Now I'm not gonna hide
I just want to be me
I'll show the world exactly how I'm really meant to be
I don't want to hide
I don't want to hide

I don't want to hide
I don't want to hide
I don't want to hide

I'm not gonna hide
