THIS IS ME [Intro — intimate, almost whispered male vocal] If I were gold, would I be priceless? If I were stars, would I be enough? Tell me, how do you measure a soul When the soul is made of more than love? [Verse 1 — gentle, poetic] Maybe I’m silver in the morning light A little imperfect, but shining at night Maybe a diamond beneath the deepest blue A thousand different colors breaking through Could I be worth what no hands could buy? A rare constellation in somebody’s sky? Would I be greater if the whole world knew? Or am I still me when nobody looks? [Pre-Chorus — instruments begin to rise] You can count the coins You can weigh the gold You can name the stars But not a heart you hold You can draw a line You can give me a name But I’ll never fit inside a frame [Chorus — soaring, emotional, powerful] THIS IS ME! More than gold, more than diamonds More than all the stars that shine You could search the edge of heaven Still, no number could define THIS IS ME! Not a label, not a price tag Not a role I have to play I am more than words can capture I am changing every day I am like this… A mystery! [Post-Chorus — melodic vocal layers, electronic pulse] Oh-oh-oh, you can’t measure me Oh-oh-oh, there’s more than you can see Oh-oh-oh, let the whole world see I am like this — THIS IS ME! [Verse 2 — fuller beat, more confident] Maybe I’m an ocean with no final shore A universe behind a single door Maybe I’m a question time can’t answer A fleeting breath, a lifelong wonder But even endless skies can miss the truth Of what one little moment means to you A million people may walk on by One person sees a world in your eyes [Pre-Chorus — stronger, rising vocals] You can count the coins You can weigh the gold You can name the stars But not a heart you hold What I mean to you No one else can say My worth was never theirs to weigh [Chorus — bigger drums, soaring sustained notes] THIS IS ME! More than gold, more than diamonds More than all the stars that shine You could search the edge of heaven Still, no number could define THIS IS ME! Not a label, not a price tag Not a role I have to play I am more than words can capture I am changing every day I am like this… A mystery! [Bridge — electronic pop-rock, distorted guitar and live drums] What am I worth to the one who needs me? What am I worth to the one I set free? What am I worth in a room full of strangers? The same beating heart — beyond their labels I’m not the gold I’m not the sky I’m not the stars you’re counting tonight And I don’t need to be anything But a life that means something In somebody’s life! [Breakdown — instruments cut, bare male vocal] Maybe I’m priceless… Maybe I’m small… Maybe I’m nothing To some after all But somewhere, somehow My name means the world To somebody’s heart In this beautiful world [Build — rising synths, layered vocals] No price! No frame! No number! No name can contain me! No rules! No lines! No measure Can tell you what’s inside! [Final Chorus — euphoric, full electronic pop explosion] THIS IS ME! Not the gold, not the diamonds Not the stars I tried to be Not the size of my achievements Not the world’s idea of me THIS IS ME! Every scar and every color Every dream I can’t explain I am not a definition I am more than any name I am like this… A mystery! THIS IS ME! THIS IS ME! You can’t put a price on what I mean To the hearts that truly see me! [Outro — beat fades, intimate vocal] No crown could tell you… No word could define… I’m not what I’m worth I’m the life that’s mine I am like this… A mystery. This is me.
