Show up

Show up for yourself 

Show up 
Show out 
Show them what it's all about 
?? clap, clap ?? 
You deserve a round of applause 
You've made it through it all 
You've held your head high 
Even when you felt low 
You kept going 
You kept striving
In the midst of it all, you kept thriving
You survived 
You passed the test 
You see, God saw you through your worst and will be cheering you on through your best 

No matter what you do (what you do)
Make sure you show up for you 
(For you)
(Repeat 1x)

Have you ever forgotten about yourself 
And never forgot about everybody else 
Im sure we all have 
Tried to help others  through the good and bad 
Thats just who we are 
Having that kind of heart and showing those acts of kindness it will get you far 
You see it starts from within 
Within yourself 
(Yourself)
You've moved past the hurt
Remembering to put yourself first 
(First)
This that verse 
Keep God first 
That when you stumble 
You still are grateful 
Remain humble 

No matter what you do (what you do)
Make sure you show up for you 
(For you)
 
Bridge
Show up, show out 
For yourself 
You're what it's all about 

No matter what you do (what you do)
Make sure you show up for you 
(For you)
(Repeat until chorus fades)
