Remember Who You Are Alternate Mix - Single by Soléma

[Intro – Spoken softly]
Baby girl…
There may be times in life when I can’t be right there beside you,
times when we don’t get to talk as much as I wish we could.
But I need you to remember something…
Everything I ever told you came from love.
And wherever life takes you,
I want these words to stay with you.

[Verse 1]
Remember your worth when the world makes you question it,
You are precious, you are valuable, don’t ever forget it.
Never shrink yourself just to make somebody stay,
The right ones won’t ask you to give your light away.

You can’t change another heart, no matter how you try,
You can’t make somebody love you, you can’t live their life.
But you can choose how much their actions touch your soul,
You can guard your peace, baby, you can stay whole.

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t hand nobody the power
To steal the joy inside your heart.
Your happiness has to live in you
Before anybody plays a part.

[Chorus]
Remember who you are, baby girl, remember who you are,
You are beautiful, you are enough, you’re a shining star.
Don’t let this world convince you that your light is somehow small,
Stand tall in who you are, you were made to have it all.

And if my voice feels far away,
Let these words bring me near.
Remember who you are, my love,
And remember Grandma’s here.

[Verse 2]
Anybody in your life should add joy to what you’ve found,
Not tear you into pieces every time they come around.
Love should never cost your peace or make you lose yourself,
You should never have to break just to hold somebody else.

Stay away from negativity like it carries a disease,
Protect your mind, protect your heart, protect your inner peace.
And baby, every smiling face ain’t always what it seems,
Some people clap beside you while they’re jealous of your dreams.

When people show their colors, don’t paint them something new,
Believe what they have shown you, believe what they do.
Words can sound so beautiful, but actions always speak,
Pay attention to the patterns, and never call that weak.

[Chorus]
Remember who you are, baby girl, remember who you are,
You are beautiful, you are enough, you’re a shining star.
Don’t let this world convince you that your light is somehow small,
Stand tall in who you are, you were made to have it all.

And if my voice feels far away,
Let these words bring me near.
Remember who you are, my love,
And remember Grandma’s here.

[Verse 3]
Stay close to your Creator, talk to Him every day,
When you don’t know where you’re going, ask Him for the way.
Pray when you are happy, pray when life gets hard,
Keep your faith beside you like a light inside your heart.

Remember all our talks, all the things I tried to teach,
Even when I’m not beside you, let my wisdom still reach.
You don’t need approval to know that you belong,
And being soft and loving doesn’t mean you’re not strong.

[Bridge]
Get your education, baby, build a life that’s yours,
Knowledge gives you choices, and choices open doors.
Dream bigger than the place you’re standing in today,
You can be whatever you decide to chase.

And don’t let anybody tell you what you cannot be,
There is so much waiting for you that you cannot even see.
Take your time, know your mind, don’t rush to prove a thing,
You are already worthy—you don’t need somebody’s ring.

Choose your friends with wisdom, choose your love with care,
Choose the ones who celebrate the woman growing there.
And if you ever lose your way, come back to what is true:
You are loved, you are enough, and there’s only one of you.

[Final Chorus – Bigger, emotional]
Remember who you are, baby girl, remember who you are,
You are beautiful, you are enough, you’re a shining star.
Never let another person make you question what you’re worth,
You were born with something special from the moment of your birth.

Hold on to your joy, baby, guard it with your life,
Don’t let somebody else’s darkness dim your inner light.
And if the road gets hard someday and you don’t know what to do,
Remember everything I taught you…
And know I still believe in you.

[Outro – Spoken]
You are enough.
You are valuable.
You are beautiful.
You are stronger than you know.
You can become anything you set your mind to.
Get your education.
Protect your peace.
Choose people who add to your joy.
Stay close to your Creator.
And never forget…
No matter how much time passes,
no matter how far apart we may be,
Grandma will always love you.
