We are who we are for a good purpose…and what we are is sacred so do not degrade your soul by trying to fit a man-made mold. Use your voice, use your gifts, because we are living stones, not bricks.
lyrics
[ Intro ]
Who are you ? Am I my skin color?
No, I’m that Spirit , that soul within. I’m light in the darkness.
True to me / true to me / true to me /
You and me / you and me / you and me.
[Verse]
Your dreams, your fears, you're stuck right here / terrified by what you see.
made for/ much more/ so much in store / but your stuck on insecurities.
Who cares/ let them stare/ let down your hair/ cause you're full of majesty/
They hate / they lie / they spit / and deny cause their full of jealously.
[pre-chorus]
Let them hate you/ but they won't break you / don’t let them shape you / cause they didn't make you/
don’t let them fake you / cause they will play you. / don’t let them shake you/ just do what you do!/
[Hook]
I gotta be true to me / True to me , true to me, true to me.
like when it’s you and me / You and me, you and me , you in me.
I gotta be true to me / True to me , true to me, true to me.
like when it’s you and me/ You and me/ You in me
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Breathe in/ breath out/ and don’t you doubt what you learned in the light/
push back, full attack / don’t fall off track/ keep up the good fight.
Who cares/ Let them stare/ let them blow hot air/ spread your wings to reach new heights.
They hate, they lie, they spit and deny , but we’ll shine like stars tonight.
[pre-chorus 2]
Let them hate you/ but they won't break you /
don’t let them shape you / cause they didn't make you/
don’t let them fake you / cause they prey on you.
don’t let them shake you/ just do what you do/
[Hook]
[Vamp]
We’re the light in the darkness/ Full of love and kindness / Were the light in the darkness/ can I get a witness.
We’re the light in the darkness/ Full of love and kindness / Were the light in the darkness/ can I get a witness.
[Hook]
[Outro]
We are who we are for a good purpose…and what we are is sacred so do not degrade your soul by trying to fit a man-made mold. Use your voice, use your gifts, because we are living stones, not bricks.
