Lyrics
I was trying too hard to fit in
I was exerting excessive effort to conform.
Make me feel like I belonged to somethin’
Seeking a sense of belonging and connection.
But it hurt in my heart
Experiencing emotional pain or discomfort.
Hiding a part of who I am
Concealing a part of my true self.
I was wasting my days down on myself
Spending time inefficiently and negatively focused on myself.
Down on my life and everyone else
Feeling discontented with my life and others around me.
I thought, they won't understand
Anticipating a lack of understanding from others.
But it wasn't about them
Realizing the issue is not about others but about myself.
It’s my parade
Taking control of my own situation and life.
I’ll make it great
Expressing determination to make my life joyful.
Blow my horn, throw confetti, celebrate
Celebrating with enthusiasm and self-expression.
You can march, you can dance
Encouraging others to participate actively.
Every moment is your chance to be yourself
Emphasizing the importance of embracing one's true self at every moment.
And sing out
Encouraging vocal self-expression and authenticity.
There’s a story inside me to tell
Acknowledging a personal narrative waiting to be shared.
It took some time to get the water from the well
Overcoming challenges to access inner resources.
I thought I waited too long, thought I’d say something wrong
Fearing a delayed opportunity to speak authentically.
That they won’t understand, but my life is my hands
Realizing that understanding is in my control, and my life is my responsibility.
It’s my parade
Reiterating the idea of taking charge of one's life.
I’ll make it great
Expressing determination to make life remarkable.
Blow my horn, throw confetti, celebrate
Celebrating with self-assurance and exuberance.
You can march, you can dance
Encouraging active participation in life's journey.
Every moment is your chance to be yourself
Highlighting the ongoing opportunity to be true to oneself.
And sing out
Encouraging vocal self-expression and authenticity (repeated).
