The showstopper, This is Me, brought down the house and led to few dry eyes at a recent chorus concert. Our first every concert of this age group was filled with wide-eyed children singing:
“When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I’m meant to be, this is me
Look out ’cause here I come
And I’m marching on to the beat I drum
I’m not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me”
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I’m meant to be, this is me
Look out ’cause here I come
And I’m marching on to the beat I drum
I’m not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me”
This is Me. The power of broken parts and scars struck a cord with#thisour family along with the likes of all present.
This weekend, we opened the New England Journal of Medicine to read, Treatment Strategies for Deficiency of Adenosine Deaminase 2. This is Me resonated differently reading this article.
Grateful for attention on this grand scale in a publication read by so many, we could not feel a strange new chorus…
This is Kelsey and she is simply who she is supposed to be:
Look out ’cause here she comes
she is brave, she is bruised
she is who she’s supposed to be
This is She.
