(The song starts slow and somber, picking up a soft, steady rhythm as it progresses, with a sense of warmth and quiet strength building) Verse 1: I’m still here, though the path’s not clear, And the world spins fast, year after year. But I’ve learned to breathe, to take it slow, In my own time, I’ve come to know That though the race feels hard to run, It’s okay if I don’t keep up with everyone. Chorus: I’m not the star, the one they see, But there’s a light inside of me. It flickers bright, though winds may blow, I’ll stand my ground, I’ll let it grow. I may not walk the same way through, But I’ll find my path, and that’s enough too. I’m here, I’m whole, I’m me. Verse 2: Some days are hard, I can’t deny, The world is loud, the stakes so high. But in the quiet moments still, I find my strength, I find my will. I won’t be perfect, won’t be neat, But I’ll rise again, I won’t retreat. Chorus: I’m not the star, the one they see, But there’s a light inside of me. It flickers bright, though winds may blow, I’ll stand my ground, I’ll let it grow. I may not walk the same way through, But I’ll find my path, and that’s enough too. I’m here, I’m whole, I’m me. Bridge: It’s okay if I stumble, it’s okay to fall, I’ll rise in my way, standing tall. And though the world won’t always see, I’m enough, I’m strong, I’m free to be... Final Chorus: Not the star they thought I’d be, But I’ve found the light inside of me. It flickers bright, and now I know, No storm or doubt can make it go. I may not walk the same way through, But I’ll find my path, and that’s enough too. I’m here, I’m whole, I’m free... To be... Me. (The music swells gently, ending on a note of quiet triumph and peace.) Me
