I heard them whisper and say Bad things about you, accusations we both know are wrong It's not true, what they say about you It's not true, what they say about you I know you as generous and kind They were blind with the injustice of this crazy world I know you as humble and fair How can anyone expect you to Solve all the problems addressed to you? They had too many, and your arms too few Don't let them tell you, don't let them tell you who you are Don't let them tell you, don't let them tell you who you are Don't let them tell you, don't let them tell you who you are I heard them calling your name In a way that's supposed to make you feel bad For the mess your father made They want to open your wounds again Turn the eyes of the world away From their own well-hidden crimes I want to tell you that I love you But I know you can't hear me now I know you can't hear me now Don't let them tell you, don't let them tell you who you are Don't let them tell you, don't let them tell you who you are Don't let them tell you, don't let them tell you who you are Don't let them tell you, don't let them tell you who you are Don't let them tell you, don't let them tell you who you are Don't let them tell you, don't let them tell you who you are
