LYRICS
Sasha
Who are you I know you
Same name, scream and I feel your pain
Same plane, different dimension
Falling from the sky
Kiwi
Heart breaking
Its hard to show who you really are
Bring back good memories
Of when I was happy
Reggie
I have good vibes
From a different tribe
All of my good people
Yeah, we choose to thrive
Healthy and happy inside
I choose life
Hailey
I should feel at home
I’ve always been here
I kind of know
what I’m searching for
Feeling lost
And alone
I should feel at home
I’ve always been here
CHORUS (Sammi, Hailey, Reggie, Raiden)
I don’t want to go, theres still more for me to see
I am holding on keep holding on
Hold on to the real me
Stronger than you know, you know its true
Keep holding on keep holding on
Hold on to the real you
Tyra
We may be different
But we share the same pain
Two separate rivers
But we flow the same way
All of my people
Our connection is strength
Not seen nothing yet
Yeah this is my happy place
Sammi
On journey with myself
In search of a greater connection
I’ll follow where the bears go
I build a home from nothing
From natures gathering
Raph
My energy and our synergy
Look into my self find the inner me
I would never give in to my enemies
Always keep it real with my family
Erica
It’s all an illusion
I’m wearing makeup
They say I’m not enough
I’m under pressure
Sing it all together
Show them we are tough
Yes we are enough, enough, enough
CHORUS
I don’t want to go, theres still more for me to see
I am holding on keep holding on
Hold on to the real me
Stronger than you know, you know its true
Keep holding on keep holding on
Hold on to the real you
Maxx
Bridge River & fountain
Connected by valleys
Surrounded by mountains
Gotta have respect
Kennan
Don’t you use your power bomb
Give it your best
Sing along this is our song
Effy
I walk down this dark hallway
Sing out loud to save myself
I don’t where I’m going
But I know I gotta get away
CHORUS
I don’t want to go, theres still more for me to see
I am holding on keep holding on
Hold on to the real me
Stronger than you know, you know its true
Keep holding on keep holding on
Hold on to the real you
