SONG: “ME” (Extended)
Verse 1
We’re just gonna ramble, let it go where it leads
Call it “Me”… yeah, that’s all I need
I thank this world for everything I am
Every scar, every lesson, every broken plan
I remember the first time I felt something real
Didn’t know if it hurt or how to deal
Felt strange, felt heavy, didn’t understand
But that’s where it started… made me who I am
⸻
Chorus
Every tear, every fight, every wrong, every right
Every dark damn day, every long, lonely night
All the love, all the loss, all the pain I had to see
Yeah, it all comes back… it all made me
I wouldn’t change it, not a single damn thing
Every broken road, every cut, every sting
I’m still standing here, yeah, I’m finally free
All of it together… made me “Me”
⸻
Verse 2
I’ve had good jobs, yeah, I’ve been fired too
Started things from nothing… watched them make it through
I’ve had vision, I’ve had loss, I’ve paid my cost
Built it with my hands no matter what it cost
I can dream, and that’s something I’ll never lose
I can sing, I can play, I can build, I can choose
Break it down, build it back, make it stronger again
That’s the fire inside… that’s the man I’ve been
⸻
Pre-Chorus
All I gotta do is believe in me
And somehow it turns to reality
⸻
Chorus
Every tear, every fight, every wrong, every right
Every dark damn day, every long, lonely night
All the love, all the loss, all the pain I had to see
Yeah, it all comes back… it all made me
I wouldn’t change it, not a single damn thing
Every broken road, every cut, every sting
I’m still standing here, yeah, I’m finally free
All of it together… made me “Me”
⸻
Verse 3
Women come and go, yeah they always find me
Sometimes it’s love… sometimes it’s blinding
I love too deep, yeah I feel too much
But I’d rather feel pain than never feel a touch
Some days I’m low, don’t wanna go on
But I push through the dark till I see the dawn
That’s emotion… that’s life… that’s truth I see
We are what we feel… that’s what makes me “Me”
⸻
Bridge (slow / real talk)
I’ve learned trades, I’ve learned art
How to build… and how to fall apart
Kind or mean, wrong or right
Every choice was a lesson in life
Wasn’t easy… hell, it was hard
Left some scars that still hit my heart
But I know now what I didn’t see
Every road led right here… to me
⸻
Break (spoken / raw, your voice)
I’m still gonna cry…
I’m still gonna laugh…
Still gonna think about the past…
Still gonna chase what’s next…
I’ve got more to do.
I’m not done.
⸻
Final Chorus (anthem style)
Every tear, every fight, every wrong, every right
Every dark damn day, every long, lonely night
All the love, all the loss, all the pain I had to see
Yeah, it all comes back… it all made me
I embrace it, every scar I see
Every part of who I’ll always be
So I thank this world… for the man I came to be
Everything you gave… gave me “Me”
⸻
Outro (simple, powerful)
So thank you world…
For everything.
