(VERSE)
I looked for truth within myself
and took my heart bravely off the shelf
and all along right inside of me
was the incarnation
of the star that I could be
(CHORUS)
I'm Livin'
(and I'm livin through the image)
(I knew someday I would become)
(and I'm livin' through the image)
the one I chose to be is staring back at me
I'm Livin'
(and I'm livin' through the image)
(I knew someday I would become)
(and I'm livin' through the image)
the battles I have won shaped who I've become
I'm Livin'
(VERSE2)
I've come so far through paths unknown
I fought their fears but found my own
but I believed though the shadows followed me
that my destination was the taste of victory
(REPEAT CHORUS 1)
(CHORUS 2)
I'm Livin'
(and I'm livin through the image)
(I knew someday I would become)
(and I'm livin' through the image)
Oh the one I chose to be
I'm Livin'
a testament that all my pain and tears served to get me here
(SPANISH)
Quiero ser una estrella una estrella
tengo que ir a por ella a por ella
