I Celebrate Me

[female

vocals] (

Smooth

chords,

light

brush

work

bass

Ooh,

yeah...)

Morning

found

me

before

the

sun

had

risen

There

was

always

somewhere

I

had

to

be

Someone

to

comfort,

something

to

fix

I

knew

the

names

of

other

people's

children

Their

birthdays,

their

worries,

their

deepest

dreams

Yet

somewhere

along

the

winding

road

I

forgot

to

ask

myself,

how

are

you

today?

I

was

the

shelter,

I

was

the

light

But

my

own

shadow

was

hidden

from

sight

But

today

I

celebrate

me

I

honor

the

woman

I've

fought

to

be

I

pour

the

nectar

back

into

my

own

cup

I

lift

my

head,

I

am

rising

up

No

more

pouring

from

an

empty

well

I

break

the

silence,

I

break

the

spell

Yes,

I

celebrate

me,

my

spirit

is

free

I

celebrate

the

woman

I'm

destined

to

be

I

poured

from

my

heart

without

counting

the

cost

I

gave

what

I

had,

I

gave

what

I

could

I

carried

the

weight

of

hopes

and

struggles

Believing

tomorrow

could

still

be

good

I

stood

in

the

storms

that

belonged

to

many

Held

broken

pieces

with

open

hands

I

kept

believing,

I

kept

building

I

kept

loving

until

I

couldn't

stand

But

today

I

celebrate

me

I

honor

the

woman

I've

fought

to

be

I

pour

the

nectar

back

into

my

own

cup

I

lift

my

head,

I

am

rising

up

No

more

pouring

from

an

empty

well

I

break

the

silence,

I

break

the

spell

Yes,

I

celebrate

me,

my

spirit

is

free

I

celebrate

the

woman

I'm

destined

to

be (

Saxophone

solo

builds

in

intensity)

Every

sacrifice

was

a

seed

I

planted

And

now

the

garden

is

starting

to

bloom

I’

m

taking

back

the

space

I’

ve

granted

Turning

the

light

on

in

every

room

I

am

the

fire,

I

am

the

stone

I

am

the

queen

on

my

own

velvet

throne

Today

I

celebrate

me

I

honor

the

woman

I've

fought

to

be

I

pour

the

nectar

back

into

my

own

cup

I

lift

my

head,

I

am

rising

up

No

more

pouring

from

an

empty

well

I

break

the

silence,

I

break

the

spell

Yes,

I

celebrate

me,

my

spirit

is

free

I

celebrate

the

woman

I'm

destined

to

be

I

celebrate

my

courage

I

celebrate

my

grace

I

see

my

own

reflection

in

this

sacred

space (

Piano

fades)

I

am

enough.

I

am

enough.

I

celebrate

me.
