Celebrate Me
Ingarose · Celebrate Me
You see what I see
Yeah
I made it through more than they know, mm
When I look at my life
And all that I've been
Every scar, every fall
Every place I've been in
I'm still here breathing
Still finding my way
Through the nights I thought I wouldn't see another day
Ain't nobody clapping for me, so I'm clapping for myself, mm
All the times I held on when I needed help
Oh, I celebrate me
For everything I survive
All the nights I cried, but still I stayed alive
I celebrate me
Yeah, I'm standing on me
Even when it's hard, I'm who I need to be
You got to do it for yourself, ain't nobody coming through
You got to find your strength even when you don't want to
It's gon' be hard sometimes, it's going to feel too much
You gon' break, you gon' cry, you gon' want to give up
But believe me, you gon' make it even when you can't see
You're stronger than the moment, you just got to believe
I celebrate me
For everything I survive
All the storms I walk through
Still I'm here, still alive
Oh, I celebrate me
Yeah, I'm rising slowly
Even with no clear view
Nothing's stopping me
It's your eyes
Even if it don't feel like it yet
You're still standing
That means something
No one can take that from you
No one
I celebrate me
For the woman I became
Through the hurt, through the pain
I still found my way
I celebrate me
And I won't apologize
Every step I took
Got me to this life
Just hold on
You gon' be all right
Celebrate you
