Autism Is My Life

Lyrics

Verse 1
I see patterns in the rain
In the cracks inside the frame
Every sound hits different here
But I still move with no fear

You call it “too much,” I call it real
Every color, every feel
I don’t fit your little box
I was built to break your locks

Pre-Chorus
And I’m not lost
I’m just wired this way
Every piece of me
Has a place to stay

Chorus
Autism is my life
Autism is my life
I shine in my own light
I shine in my own light

Autism is my life
Autism is my life
I’m not here to hide
I’m here to rise

Verse 2
Hands in my pocket, headphones on
Crowded room, I’m still strong
I need space, I need truth
I need time to be me too

So if I flap, if I rock
If I need to stop
That’s not weakness, that’s my way
I’m still winning every day

Pre-Chorus
And I’m not lost
I’m just wired this way
Every piece of me
Has a place to stay

Chorus
Autism is my life
Autism is my life
I shine in my own light
I shine in my own light

Autism is my life
Autism is my life
I’m not here to hide
I’m here to rise

Bridge
Turn the volume down
Let the truth come through
I don’t need to change
To be enough for you

I’m not broken
I’m becoming
I’m not broken
I’m becoming

Final Chorus
Autism is my life
Autism is my life
I shine in my own light
I shine in my own light

Autism is my life
Autism is my life
I’m not here to hide
I’m here to rise
