lyrics

That’s right I’m standing tall
Balanced feet on the ground
Open palms by my side
Shoulders back, head high
Breath is easy, deep
Eyes wide to receive
All of what is — I’m ready
Heart strong, beat steady

I know who I am
I know who I want to be
I know I am worthy
Of love, of belonging
And I know that nothing
That happens to me or around me
Can diminish my worth
My wholeness my humanity

Because I am (Standing, breathing, owning, loving)
I am (Balance, healing. know belonging)
I am (Standing, breathing, owning, loving)
I am (Balance, healing. know belonging)

I have choices
I choose actions that align
With my values, my needs
Which I learned from listening
To the song of my own spirit
Finally my ears could hear it
When I released what was not mine
And I owned up to my own life

I know who I am
I know what is good for me
There is nobody but me
Who can take responsibility
I’m not looking
for the path of least resistance
I do the work for the goodness
That affirms my own existence

Because I am (Standing, breathing, owning, loving)
I am (Balance, healing, know belonging)
I am (Standing, breathing, owning, loving)
I am (Balance, healing, know belonging)

And yeah I see you now
You’re all connected to your own power
And it’s drawing me in
Like water attracts water
There’s no higher or lower
Or competing over resources
‘Cause we know how to love ourselves
We are a flood

And holy shit
Isn’t that a total shift?
In this microcosmic scene
You and I, we are dismantling
The ranked system status quo
That oppresses and harms
We’ll make a whole new world
Because you know who you are
And I know who I am
I know who I am

I know who I am
I am (Standing, breathing, owning, loving)
I am (Balance, healing, know belonging)
I am (Standing, breathing, owning, loving)
I am (Balance, healing, know belonging)
I am
