I Am In Here
Lyrics by Elizabeth Bonker and music by Brian Laidlaw
The sterile white walls match the sterile manner
Of the white coats who will determine my fate.
I can’t speak
Give me a break
Your tests can’t label my interior state

I am in here
I am in here
Have no fear
I am in here

The sterile tan walls match the sterile method
Of the autism class that makes my head ache
Look at me
No hands free
My sanity is starting to break

I am in here
I am in here
Isn’t it clear?
I am in here

I am fierce
I am intelligent
I am funny
And I am in here
I am brave
I am creative
I am spiritual
And I am in here

The psychedelic realm of my interior state
Senses things you cannot believe
God all around
Love freely found
Our intelligence you cannot believe

I am in here
I am in here
Let me appear
I am in here
I am in here
