Sum Of Our Parts - Mary Lambert

This is my skin that I’ve never fit in I was born the queen of nowhere

This is how it begins

I wonder is this your life

Were you raised in deep water

Are they pushing you down

Are you gonna push harder

I want to know who ever broke you

I want to know how you can grow bigger

Don’t go looking for some kind of rescue

You are the only one who can save you

We are, we are more than our scars

We are, we are more than the sum of our parts

We are, we are more than our scars

We are, we are more than the sum of our parts

I didn’t know I was a phoenix

Till I learned how to speak

Even with ashes in my mouth

I was still born to breath

I wonder are you like me Were you left in the fire

Are you raising yourself

Above your father’s empire

I want to know who ever broke you

I want to know how you can grow bigger

Don’t go looking for some kind of rescue

You are the only one who can save you

We are, we are more than our scars

We are, we are more than the sum of our parts

We are, we are more than our scars

We are, we are more than the sum of our parts

(I burn bright)

Look how bright we are

Look at all the things we have come from

Sometimes it hurts when you become them

Sometimes I bury myself in my own wreckage and

Don’t want to come out

Which part of you is still in the wreckage?

Which part of you clipped your own wings?

Which part of you will begin at your own end?

Which part of you will you let live again?

We are, we are more than our scars

We are, we are more than the sum of our parts

We are, we are more than our scars

We are, we are more than the sum of our parts

More than our scars

More than the sum of our parts
