Uneven Measure

[Verse 1]
You trace your own rhythm on the window of the day
Two quick turns, a pause, then you refuse to look away
Your laugh arrives in angles no one taught you to explain
And every odd bright fragment has its own electric name

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the uneven measure carry what you are
Every little difference leaves a signature

[Chorus]
Take your colors out in public, let them collide
You were never meant to match the passing tide
Sing the notes that only you can recognize
All the strange and shining parts are yours tonight

[Verse 2]
You tell the truth in sideways sparks, you see what others miss
You make a whole new language from a half-remembered wish
No need to trade your edges for a version they applaud
Your uncommon way of being is a reason to stand tall

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the uneven measure carry what you are
Every little difference leaves a signature

[Chorus]
Take your colors out in public, let them collide
You were never meant to match the passing tide
Sing the notes that only you can recognize
All the strange and shining parts are yours tonight

[Bridge]
We are many kinds of wonderful, in every shade and size
Every voice a living answer, every face a new sunrise

[Final Chorus]
Take your colors out in public, let them collide
You were never meant to match the passing tide
Sing the notes that only you can recognize
All the strange and shining parts are yours tonight
