[Verse 1] You called my bright colors a little too loud I wore them like weather, out past the crowd Every odd angle, every strange spark A language I carried before I could talk [Pre-Chorus] I quit translating the pulse in my chest Let every difference arrive as itself [Chorus] Here I am, in every shade Not a copy, not afraid All my scattered notes belong I make a whole by singing wrong Here I am, unedited, alive Every part gets to survive [Verse 2] My laugh breaks rhythm, my thoughts change pace I turn the wrong turn into my own kind of grace You see the mismatch; I see the design A dozen wild colors refusing one line [Pre-Chorus] I quit translating the pulse in my chest Let every difference arrive as itself [Chorus] Here I am, in every shade Not a copy, not afraid All my scattered notes belong I make a whole by singing wrong Here I am, unedited, alive Every part gets to survive [Bridge] No need to fit your frame I keep my given name The pieces don't align They make a pattern mine [Final Chorus] Here I am, in every shade Not a copy, not afraid All my scattered notes belong I make a whole by singing wrong Here I am, unedited, alive Every part gets to survive [Outro] Every part gets to survive
