[Verse 1] Every morning I look into my eyes, I don’t run away, don’t ask, “Am I enough?” I have my scars, my dreams and weaknesses, And every day I give myself more tenderness. I don’t have to change because of what they say, I don’t have to fit the roles they make me play. I take a deep breath and choose my own way, Because my light is stronger than the darkest shade. [Bridge] Tenderness… Courage… Strength… [Chorus] I love myself exactly as I am, Today, tomorrow — in everything I am. Let the dark clouds drift wherever they may go, They can’t take away the person that I know. I have peace within me, I have strength inside, I have love that leads me through this life. And even if someone tries to dim my light, I will choose myself again tonight. [Verse 2] I don’t have to take each word into my heart, Not every storm has to become a part Of who I am — what others say won’t define me, I know my worth, and I can see it clearly. I let myself sometimes move a little slow, Rest awhile, shed some tears, then dream once more. Because I want to be a home unto myself, A place where I am safe and can be myself. [Chorus] I love myself exactly as I am, Today, tomorrow — in everything I am. Let the dark clouds drift wherever they may go, They can’t take away the person that I know. I have peace within me, I have strength inside, I have love that leads me through this life. And even if someone tries to dim my light, I will choose myself again tonight. [Bridge] Being tender with myself Is not weakness — it is strength. It’s the hand I give myself When the world moves far too fast. I don’t have to be perfect To deserve somebody’s love. I am standing on my own side, And that is where my strength comes from. [Final Chorus] I love myself exactly as I am, With every sunrise, I love myself again. Let the darkest clouds cover up the sky — I know the sun is always shining high. I have peace within me, I have strength inside, I have a heart that’s full of love and light. No one can ever take my colours away, Because I choose myself — every single day. [Outro] Just as I am — I know that I’m enough. Just as I am — my heart is filled with love. I’m kind to myself, I’m my own safe home. And even among the clouds, I have a sun of my own.
