No track playing
Start playback to see track details here.
(hmmm, yeah) I've been rehearsing what to say in the mirror for
weeks.
Monday morning, coffee in my hand
Standing by the breakroom,
trying to find my stance
Underneath the fluorescent glare Taking a breath to show them who I
am
No more hiding behind a name that isn't mine It's time.
My heart is beating like a drum against my chest
But there is peace inside this truth I've confessed (oh yeah)
This is me, standing tall in the light
Stepping out of the shade,
living my life
I'm the same coworker you always knew
Just finally showing the version that's true
(finally true)
They looked up from their screens,
one by one
I saw the surprise,
then the warmth begun
A nod of respect,
a simple smile of grace
Safe and accepted in this familiar space (so safe now) No more
living in divided parts.
This is me, standing tall in the light
Stepping out of the shade,
living my life
I'm the same coworker you always knew
Just finally showing the version that's true (yeah,
finally true)
Just me...
Walking down the hall with my head held high
(hmmm,
so high) Thank you for seeing me.
