Me Through a Prism
Lyrics by Sheila Kaufman, Music by Robin Lea Fritche

Sometimes I feel like a mix of all colors
Blended together to Black,
Clothed head to toe so no one will notice me
Feelings too dark to unpack

I know inside, when all the joy flees from me
It's prob'ly born out of fear,
What if I show myself as I am
And only my critics appear?

Chorus 1:
I need to see
Me through a prism,
Each color splashed out on the wall,
The rainbow of colors I know are inside,
The ones that are hard to recall.
I need to see
Me through a prism
The light shining bright to my soul,
Each glittering ray on full display
Whenever the dark takes control.

Some days I know I'm fun and I'm talented,
At least that's what some people say,
How do I hold on to those feelings
When all of my skies have gone grey?

Chorus 2:
I need to see
Me through a prism
Each color splashed out on the wall
The rainbow of colors I know are inside
The ones that are hard to recall.
I need to see
Me through a prism
The light shining bright to my soul
Each glittering ray
On full display,
Working to get there someday.
