Extraordinary
Embracing Self-Worth: Unveiling the Extraordinary Journey
Lyrics
I am extraordinary
I consider myself extraordinary
I've taken my time
I've taken my time to progress
Stumbling through till I could claim what was mine
I faced challenges until I could assert what rightfully belongs to me
Let my tale be cautionary
I share my story as a warning
Took so long to unwind
It took a long time to unravel complexities
All the tangled threads, all of the stories and lies
Refers to unraveling personal narratives and falsehoods
Wasted so many years
I wasted many years
Wondering if I was good enough
Questioned my worthiness
Wondering if I was strong
Questioned my strength
Proof in my body
Evidence of my uniqueness in my physical self
Proof in my breathing
Confirmation of existence through breathing
Proof in my song
Expression of identity through song
I am extraordinary
Reiteration of being extraordinary
I wish that you knew
Desire for others to recognize my extraordinariness
I'll say it again till I'm convinced that it's true
Repeated affirmation until personal conviction
I know I have more than many
Acknowledgment of having more than many others
I still need you to see
Request for recognition of the value of my efforts
The worth of my work, so don't you patronize me
Admonition against condescension
Wasted so many years
Reflection on wasted time
Wondering if I was good enough
Continued doubt about personal worthiness
Wondering if I was strong
Continued doubt about personal strength
Proof in my body
Reiteration of evidence in physical self
Proof in my breathing
Reiteration of confirmation through breathing
Proof in my song
Reiteration of identity expressed through song
Proof in my body
Further affirmation in physical existence
Proof in my breathing
Further affirmation through breathing
Proof in my song
Further affirmation through song
Beauty is fading
Acknowledgment of the fading of external beauty
I'm getting older
Acknowledgment of aging
I can't explain it
Difficulty in explaining personal experiences
I'm still unfolding
Continued self-discovery
I'm so expansive
Expansiveness beyond physical limitations
My skin can't keep up with my body
Body changing faster than the skin can keep up
I am aflame both with rage and delight,
Intense emotions of both anger and joy
You can't hold me
Asserting independence, cannot be controlled
I am rooted and fruitful,
Grounded and productive
unmuted and truthful
Unrestrained and honest
and holy
Describing a sacred and divine aspect
I'm a temple, a monument
Metaphorical representation as a sacred place
be still and know me
Encouragement to be still and understand the speaker
Proof in my body
Reiteration of evidence in physical self
Proof in my breathing
Reiteration of confirmation through breathing
Proof in my song
Reiteration of identity expressed through song
Proof in my body
Further affirmation in physical existence
Proof in my breathing
Further affirmation through breathing
Proof in my song
Further affirmation through song
I am extraordinary
Final affirmation of extraordinariness
I am extraordinary
Reiteration of extraordinariness
I am extraordinary
Another reiteration of extraordinariness
I am extraordinary
Final reiteration of extraordinariness
