Extraordinary

I am extraordinary I've taken my time Stumbling through till I could claim what was mine Let my tale be cautionary Took so long to unwind All the tangled threads, all of the stories and lies Wasted so many years Wondering if I was good enough Wondering if I was strong Proof in my body Proof in my breathing Proof in my song I am extraordinary I wish that you knew I'll say it again till I'm convinced that it's true I know I have more than many I still need you to see The worth of my work, so don't you patronize me Wasted so many years Wondering if I was good enough Wondering if I was strong Proof in my body Proof in my breathing Proof in my song Proof in my body Proof in my breathing Proof in my song Beauty is fading I'm getting older I can't explain it I'm still unfolding I'm so expansive My skin can't keep up with my body I am aflame both with rage and delight, You can't hold me I am rooted and fruitful, unmuted and truthful and holy I'm a temple, a monument be still and know me Proof in my body Proof in my breathing Proof in my song Proof in my body Proof in my breathing Proof in my song I am extraordinary I am extraordinary I am extraordinary I am extraordinary
