[Verse 1] I used to wear a face that wasn't mine Pressed into a shape I couldn't fill I walked through rooms where no one saw me right And learned to make myself be small and still But somewhere in the quiet of the screen A door was standing open in the light And something in me whispered this is it The first time I have wanted to go inside [Pre-Chorus] I didn't know what I was looking for I only knew the ache of being wrong In every room, in every borrowed skin I never felt like I belonged [Chorus] But here I learned to breathe Here I found my name Stepped into another life And never felt ashamed Built a world from nothing Wore a face that fit For the very first time I knew who I was in it Here I found myself Here I found myself [Verse 2] I chose a form that matched the one inside And walked through spaces built for one and all I met a stranger building something vast And helped them raise another open wall We never touched but something real was there A kindness that the daylight rarely shows In borrowed skies and hand-built afternoon I planted something only I could grow [Pre-Chorus] I didn't know that I could be this much I didn't know my edges had no end I only knew the version I'd been given And here I got to start again [Chorus] And here I learned to breathe Here I found my name Stepped into another life And never felt ashamed Built a world from nothing Wore a face that fit For the very first time I knew who I was in it Here I found myself Here I found myself [Bridge — building, strings rising] These worlds were made by dreamers Who refused to stay confined Who said there has to be one place We can finally be defined Not by what we're given Not by what we're told to wear But by the self that's waiting For a world that knows it's there [Instrumental build — full orchestra swells, choir enters beneath] [Choir joins — gospel power, voices layering] Here we learned to breathe Here we found our names Stepped into another life And never felt ashamed Built our worlds from nothing Wore the faces meant for us For the very first time We knew who we were in this [Final Chorus — full choir and vocal together, anthemic] Here we found ourselves Here we found ourselves Every broken dreamer Every hidden name Every soul that needed More than what remained We came in lost and lonely We came in small and wrong But here we found the people We had been all along Here we found ourselves Here we found ourselves Here we found ourselves
