Alphabet Rockers feat. The Singing Bois - I am Enough

from The Love (GRAMMY​®​-​nominated) by Alphabet Rockers

about

"I am enough" is a song for our times, making visible and centering the proud voices of singers who identify as non-binary. This song is a healer - join us in all ages in loving the amazing YOU that you are.

OUR STORY
Our Family Coalition (ourfamily.org) was a huge partner in creating the album. We brainstormed with their staff in the fall of 2018 about themes for the album and landed on three: advocacy, visibility and celebration. Following this, a staff member said, “I just want to feel like I’m enough.” The song was born. In our outreach events with gender diverse families and with our extended community, kids and adults shared truths around their gender expressions which are reflected in the verses. It was an honor to collaborate with The Singing Bois - and have representative voices lead this song forward. A special moment was having 11 year old Aris Wong (who identifies as gender fluid/non-binary) sing incredible back-up vocals for the verses.

lyrics

VERSE 1:
Let me tell you that
I -- feel free in the skin that I’m in though I wonder when
I -- can wake up kick back walk thru the world never thinking bout
Why - you put limits on my body n’tell - me how to live my Life - Listen I’m free - - so free
PRECHORUS
Please don’t try to read me, place me or displace me
You cannot erase me - the sky is the limit - and that’s where I’m livin’
CHORUS
I -- don’t need to blend in, fit in the binary
I -- got a little bit of this and a little bit of that in me
I -- look-like a queen and a king I’m not going to
Hide - my pride I sparkle inside and outside
PRE CHORUS
BRIDGE
Ever since I was a little kid
People try to box me in, try to make me fit Girl or boy, like that’s all there is
I’m a magical being beyond all that bizz Family, history
Keeping me strong
Pushing them boundaries
Sing a new song
Been waiting for the world to finally
Call me (call me) non-binary (know about me)
PRECHORUS
CHORUS
