I write what I mean
I mean what I say
I'll defend my right to be me
To my very last day

I write what I mean
I mean what I say
They will not be unkind words
That really is not my way

I write what I mean
I mean what I say
My loved ones are important
I'll stand by them come what may

I write what I mean
I mean what I say
This comes from my determination
To live my life my way

I write what I mean
I mean what I say
There are always choices
What will they be today

I write what I mean
I mean what I say
Love, laughter, happiness
Every single day
