| This song is great!! Finally some good stuff on the radio. I think that everyone, especially those of us in high school, should pay attention to these lyrics just once. This song is all about being who you really are and not worrying what the so-called "popular" kids think about you! This song is basically saying be yourself, take your own path, and be proud of it!! : ) | |
