[Spoken Word - soft, deep, reflective]
You ever feel like…
you were built wrong…?
Like everyone else got a manual…
and you didn’t…
Yeah…
me too.
But listen close—
because everything you thought broke you…
…was building you.
[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
Growing up, I felt out of place
Like I wore the wrong skin, wrong face
Tried to bend just to fit their mold
But it cost me more than I was told
Every word like a quiet cut
“Be someone else”—yeah, heard enough
Started thinking maybe they were right…
Maybe I was born wrong inside
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah it hurt, yeah it left its scars
But those wounds didn’t make me fall apart
Now I stand and I say it loud—
I am me… and I’m finally proud
[Chorus 1]
It's okay to be different,
Living life in your own way
You know that nothing is missing,
Knowing God sees us the same
It's okay to feel the pain,
Even though it leaves a scar
You know it's worth the gain,
'Cause the lessons learned go far
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
For years I stayed locked inside
Wouldn’t speak, wouldn’t let them find
All the pieces I tried to hide
All the storms I kept behind
Turned my back on the helping hands
Too afraid they’d misunderstand
Fell so deep, thought I’d never rise
Fought a war I could not survive
[Pre-Chorus 2]
But I learned there’s another way
You don’t have to throw yourself away
You can fight and still remain…
Everything that makes you you today
[Chorus 2]
It's okay to share your heart,
'Cause it keeps you in the light
Even if you fall apart,
You can never lose the fight
It's okay to leave the dark,
Even when you face your fears
It’s no easy walk at all,
Yeah, you’ll shed a lot of tears
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Now I see what I couldn’t then
All the pain had a purpose in it
Every crack let the light break through
Built a strength that I never knew
I’m not lost, I was being shaped
Every step, every risk I take
Wasn’t failure—it was design
Turning scars into something divine
[Bridge]
All these lessons in my life…
Yeah, I learned them the hardest way
Through the fire, through the nights
Where I almost couldn’t stay
I had to walk through hell itself
Just to understand my name…
Now I wear it like a crown—
Yeah… I’ll never be ashamed
[Final Chorus]
So long as your strength stays,
And you always look ahead
You’ll never lose your way,
And your hope will never end
Even when the road breaks,
Even when your world feels dead
There’s a light you still carry,
Even if it’s barely there
You are more than your worst days,
More than words that they said
You were never broken…
You were being rebuilt instead
[Fading Instrumental]
[Spoken Word - Deep, Calm, Grounded, Reassuring]
So if you’re out there right now…
feeling like you don’t belong…
Good.
Because maybe you weren’t meant to fit in…
Maybe you were meant to be something different.
And yeah…
it’s gonna hurt sometimes.
But I promise you this—
You’re not alone in that fight.
You never were.
And you never will be.
