lyrics

When I was a kid
This is what the doctors did
They told my mom
“There’s no hope for this one”
But they didn’t know…no they didn’t know

When I went to school
Teachers did the same thing too
I’m not lying, they said
“This one ain’t even trying”
But they didn’t know what they didn’t know
What they didn’t know was the truth about me

Sometimes I fear
They don’t understand
That I hear
And I know
The way they look through me
It just makes me want to scream

I am in here, I am in here
This is my voice, this is my life
This is my choice, this is my right
I am in here

Now that I’m grown
I realize I’m not alone
Millions like me
Who should be shining brightly
But they don’t know how they can show
How much they know and the truth they can see

You don’t believe
That we go to the extreme
To be heard and to be seen
If you just walk in our shoes
I know you would scream the news

We are in here, we are in here
This is our voice, this is our life
This is our choice, this is our right
We are in here

We are in here, we are in here
This is our voice, this is our life
This is our choice, this is our right
We are in here, we are in here
This is our voice, this is our life
This is our choice, this is our right
We are in here
We are in here
We are in here
