Story behind the song
Ask the question who are they anyway? Don't worry about what anyone else may think or say...it isnt their business or their life.
Lyrics
Nobody’s watching your every move
Cause they’re all just worried what they’re gonna do
And nobody’s listening and nobody cares to
I’ve tried to justify just who I am
But I’m sick and tired of playing that hand
It’d really be nice but so what if they don’t understand
CHORUS:
Don’t worry bout what they say
Who are they any way
No matter how it may seem, you’re the one with the dream
Don’t let them put you down, don’t let them steal your crown
It’ll be worth the fight
No matter what they might say
I can’t help but hopin’ someday they’d change
I cannot help but wish they would see it my way
But I’m through saying sorry
But I’m not gonna be afraid
CHORUS:
Don’t worry bout what they say
Who are they anyway
No matter how it may seem, you’re the one with the dream
Don’t let them put you down, don’t let them steal your crown
It’ll be worth the fight
No matter what they might say
BRIDGE:
Does it really feel right
Do you sleep well at night
The better you trust it
The more you will find
CHORUS:
Don’t worry bout what they say
Who are they any way
No matter how it may seem, you’re the one with the dream
Don’t let them put you down, don’t let them steal your crown
It’ll be worth the fight
No matter what they might say
