I Am A Person

I am a person, I’m not a number,
I am a person, not a digital excuse.
I am a person, I’m not a number,
I am a person with a name (brain).I am the voice of reason, crying to be heard.
Listen to me, listen to the wisdom of my words.
No one else can tell you how to realize your dreams.
No one else can tell you what the secret really means

I am a person, I’m not a number … etc.

I am the only one who knows the reason why.
Listen to me, listen to me, hear me when I cry.
No one understands the real person deep inside.
No one understands that’s why so many try to hide, yeah

I am a person, I’m not a number … etc.

Seek me, find me.
Please don’t hide me.

Prisoner, can’t escape.
Ev’rybody’s givin’ what I can’t take.
C’mon listen, hear me out.
You know what I’m talkin’ about.
Take me to number one,
No one ever says what’s goin’ on.
Seek me, find me, follow me,
hear me out just set me free.

I am a person, I’m not a number … etc.
