[Verse 1] You count the colors I was taught to hide I wear them out where every line can show My laugh breaks loose, my pulse refuses straight I take the uneven road my own feet chose [Pre-Chorus] No mask can hold this much of me I turn each difference into something bright [Chorus] I am all the notes they couldn't name Every odd angle, every honest flame You are more than one approved design Let your strange and shining parts be mine We come alive in our own kind of light Different by nature, together tonight [Verse 2] Your silver laugh cuts clean across the hush My restless hands keep time against the air We trade our colors, never trade our nerve And make a thousand ways of being here [Chorus] I am all the notes they couldn't name Every odd angle, every honest flame You are more than one approved design Let your strange and shining parts be mine We come alive in our own kind of light Different by nature, together tonight [Bridge] Say it with your whole face Stand in your own weather Every voice, every pace We are brighter together [Final Chorus] I am all the notes they couldn't name Every odd angle, every honest flame You are more than one approved design Let your strange and shining parts be mine We come alive in our own kind of light Different by nature, together tonight
