Who Do You Think You Are

Who do you think you are?
My shining wish upon a star?

You don't know who I am.
Did you even try to get to know me?
I'm the mighty lion and you're the timid lamb.
Why don't you set your true self free?

Why can't you see
That there's so much more to me?

Given what you know,
And knowing what you don't,
You have no other way to go,
But admitting to that you won't.

Who do you think you are?
Why can't you see
You're my shining star?
And there's nothing more to me.
