I'm Looking for the girl I know
Wondering where she's gone
Staring at my reflection
Am I pretty ...am I still strong
Do I fit in.. have I got it
How dare you
make me doubt myself
And try try to make me feel small
I'm not perfect... I'm Enough
You don't get to act like you can break me
you won't break me
I am so much more than what you say
what you think
I am more I am more
Courage whispers to my heart
I have everything I need
The hero in the mirror
She keeps reminding me
You can't take away my worth
I'm more than all your hateful words
I am worthy I am worthy
You don't get to act like you can break me
you won't break me.
I am so much more than what you say
what you think
I am more I am more..
BRIDGE:
I know, I know, I know ,I know I know who I am
I know, I know, I know I Know I Know who I am
I know it's gonna hurt me but I know who I am
I am more
You don't get to act like you can break me
you won't break me
I am so much more than what you say what you think
You don't get to act like you can break me
you won't break me
I am so much more than what you say
what you think
I am more I am more
I don't need you or your friends to like me
I define me
You had your fun at my expense I'm learning I'm learning
I am more I am more.
The lyrics of "I Am More" by Pearson & Hirst convey a powerful message of self-reflection, empowerment, and resilience. The singer is searching for her true self, wondering where she has gone and questioning her own worth and strength. She looks at her reflection, pondering if she still possesses beauty and resilience. The vulnerability and self-doubt expressed in the initial verses are contrasted with a defiant declaration of self-worth and inner strength in the chorus.
The songwriter shifts the narrative by addressing an unknown antagonist who has attempted to diminish the singer's confidence and belittle her worth. Despite feeling imperfect, the singer reaffirms her own sufficiency and refuses to allow others to define her value or break her spirit. The lyrics emphasize the importance of self-acceptance and resilience in the face of external negativity and attempts to undermine one's self-esteem.
The repeated assertion, "I am more than what you say, what you think," highlights the singer's refusal to be limited by others' opinions or criticisms. The chorus serves as a mantra of empowerment and self-assurance, emphasizing that the singer is capable of defining her own identity and worth. Courage and self-belief emerge as guiding forces, reminding the singer that she possesses all she needs to navigate challenges and overcome adversity.
The bridge section further reinforces the theme of self-awareness and resilience, with the singer asserting her knowledge of her own identity and worth. Despite acknowledging the potential for pain and hurt, she stands firm in her understanding of herself, declaring, "I am more." The song concludes with a declaration of independence and self-definition, asserting that the singer does not require external validation to determine her worth and identity. Through introspection, self-empowerment, and self-affirmation, the lyrics of "I Am More" encourage listeners to embrace their true selves and recognize their inherent value, irrespective of external judgments or negativity.
