Inside and Out lyrics
by Original Cast of Hope Despair Musical
(MONDO)
You don't know what I'm about
How I've lived with shame and doubt
Who you think you see's a sham
Boy, you don't know just how weak I am
(CHIHIRO)
We've all got a shell in which we're living
And it's not always fitting from the start
I always knew I wasn't who I was given
And now all that surrounds me matches my heart
I know who I am
Like you know who you are
And you are many
And I'm me like too few are
And maybe it's a shift in me
So if you see me differently
I understand your doubt
But I just want you to see me
Inside and out
(MONDO)
When I joined my gang it was led by my brother
He was older and wiser and earned his respect
I wasn't him and I wasn't revеred by the others
I knеw that was a mess I had to correct
So, I challenged him to race
I wasn't no disgrace
And I kept him there with something to prove
Yeah, I pushed myself too far
I didn't see the car
He yelled at me to move...!
DAIYA!
(CHIHIRO, MONDO, BOTH)
I could never be
I could never be
Strong as you
I could never do the things that
I can never do what
You can do
I don't care what they say
What would my brother say?
The new me starts today
(Spoken) No freaking way!
And with your help I'll be
You think you're better than me!?
The full unfiltered me
(MONDO, SPOKEN)
I'm stronger than you...
I'm stronger than anyone!
