[English]

When I look at my life

>> [music]

>> and see where I stand.

Yeah.

I made it through more than they know.

When I look at my life

and all that I've been

every scar, every fall

>> [music]

>> every place I've been in

I'm still here breathing

>> [music]

>> still FINDING MY WAY

THROUGH THE NIGHTS I thought I

wouldn't see [music]

another day.

Ain't nobody clapping for me, so I'm

clapping for myself.

>> [music]

>> All the times I HELD ON

WHEN I NEEDED HELP.

OH,

I CELEBRATE ME

FOR everything I survived [music]

all the nights I cried,

>> [music]

>> but still I

stayed alive.

I celebrate me.

Yeah, I'm standing on me

>> [music]

>> even when it's hard,

>> [screaming]

>> I'm who I need [music] to be.

You got to do it for yourself. Ain't

nobody coming through. You got to find

your [music] strength even when you

don't want to. It's going to be hard

sometimes. It's going to feel too much.

[music]

You're going to break. You're going to

cry. You're going to want to give up,

but believe me, you're going to make it

even [music and singing] when you can't

see. You're stronger than the moment.

You just got to believe. I celebrate me

for everything I survived,

>> [screaming]

>> all the storms I walked through

still I'm here still alive.

Oh, I celebrate [music] me.

Yeah, I'm rising slowly

even with no clear view

nothing stopping me.

>> [music]

>> It's all right

even if it don't feel like it yet.

You're [music] still standing

and that means something. [music]

No one can take that from you.

>> [music]

>> No one.

Oh,

I celebrate me

for the woman I BECAME

THROUGH THE HURT, through the pain

I still found my way.

Hey,

>> [music]

>> I celebrate me.

And I won't apologize.

Every step I took

got me to this life.

Just hold [music]

on.

You're going to be all right.

Celebrate you.
