[Verse 1] You count the little differences I used to tuck away The laugh that jumps a beat too soon The colors I won't trade I bend the phrase, I change the pace I take the strange route through And every odd note in my name Keeps sounding more like me [Pre-Chorus] No need to match the measured line I find my pulse in my own time [Chorus] This is me, in every bright variation Every turn, every unexpected turn Raise it up, let the whole world hear it We are many ways to burn Not the same, and that's the celebration Every voice with its own refrain This is me, and I won't erase it This is us, uncontained [Verse 2] You wear your colors unapologetic I wear mine inside out We meet where all the rhythms tangle And make a chorus out A hundred ways to hold a note A hundred ways to begin The parts they called too much before Are where the joy gets in [Bridge] Let the pattern split and wander Let the count refuse to stay We can make a living language From the things we do our way [Final Chorus] This is me, in every bright variation Every turn, every unexpected turn Raise it up, let the whole world hear it We are many ways to burn Not the same, and that's the celebration Every voice with its own refrain This is me, and I won't erase it This is us, uncontained [Outro] This is us Uncontained
