Here I Am

They tell you a good girl is quiet
 And that you should never ask why
 'Cause it only makes it harder to fit in
 And you should be happy, excited
 Even if you're just invited
 'Cause the winners need someone to clap for them
 It's so hard just waitin'
 In a line that never moves
 It's time you started making
 Your own rules
 You gotta scream until there's nothin' left
 With your last breath
 Say, "Here I am, here I am"
 Make 'em listen
 'Cause there's no way you'll be ignored
 Not anymore
 Say, "Here I am, here I am"
 Here I am, oh-oh-oh
 Here I am, oh-oh
 You only get one life to work it
 So who cares if it's not perfect?
 I say it's close enough to perfect for me
 Why should you hide from the thunder
 And the lightning that you're under?
 'Cause there ain't nobody else you wanna be
 If how your livin' isn't workin'
 There's one thing that will help
 You gotta finally just stop searchin'
 To find yourself, oh
 You gotta scream until there's nothin' left
 With your last breath
 Say, "Here I am, here I am"
 Make 'em listen
 'Cause there's no way you'll be ignored
 Not anymore
 Say, "Here I am, here I am"
 Here I am
 The world better make some room
 Yeah, move over, over
 'Cause you're coming through
 'Cause you're coming through
 You gotta scream until there's nothin' left
 With your last breath
 Here I am, here I am
 Make 'em listen
 'Cause there is no way you'll be ignored
 Not anymore
 Say, "Here I am, here I am"
 Here I am, oh-oh-oh
 Here I am, oh-oh-oh
 Here I am
