And The Winner Is Me

I remember standing on the outside
Watching everybody pass me by
Had a thousand reasons I could give up
But something in me wouldn't let them win

Every setback, every closed door
Every time I ended on the floor
Built a fire I had never known before
Now I know what I was fighting for

I kept running
Kept believing
Even when nobody could see it

One more heartbeat
One more dream
Look at who I came to be

And the winner is me
I became who I wanted to be
Through the highs, through the lows
Through the nights nobody knows

And the winner is me
Not because somebody had to lose
I just finally broke through
To the life I always knew

Raise my hands
Let me breathe
And the winner is me

Oh-oh-oh
The winner is me

Oh-oh-oh
Look what I can be

Oh-oh-oh
I finally believe

And the winner—
The winner is me

There were days I couldn't see tomorrow
There were nights I nearly lost the road
But the weight I carried made me stronger
Now I'm standing taller than before

I don't need a medal or a spotlight
I don't need my name across the sky
Every step that brought me to this moment
Is enough to know I won tonight

I kept running
Kept believing
Even when nobody could see it

One more heartbeat
One more dream
Look at who I came to be

And the winner is me
I became who I wanted to be
Through the highs, through the lows
Through the nights nobody knows

And the winner is me
Not because somebody had to lose
I just finally broke through
To the life I always knew

Raise my hands
Let me breathe
And the winner is me

Every fall
Every fight
Every time I chose to rise

Every doubt
Every scar
Only showed me who we are

Here I stand
Here I breathe
No more waiting to believe

Say my name
One last time...

And the winner is...

ME!

And the winner is me
I became who I wanted to be
Through the highs, through the lows
Through the nights nobody knows

And the winner is me
Now I'm standing where I dreamed I'd be
No more wondering if I can
I finally understand

Raise my hands
Let me breathe
I believed
Now I see

And the winner...
The winner is me

Oh-oh-oh
The winner is me

I finally believe

And the winner is me.
