My True Color (by Esfandani)
 
I am Indonesian
I follow Javanese culture
Islam is my religion
I believe what my religion tell me
 
I know that I am a shy person
I know that I am stubborn and quite
That's what make me, me
 
Nobody can change me
Nobody can change what's make me who I am
I am happy for the way I am
I am glad to be my self
 
I don't have to be popular
As everybody else
They change their true color
And I don't
 
I just want to be my self
I want people see me as my self
This is the story of my true color
