About this arrangement

Choral Choir (TTBB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.779366 Composed by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. Arranged by Shelton Ridge Love. Contemporary. Octavo. 12 pages. Shelton Ridge Love #4593251. Published by Shelton Ridge Love (A0.779366). I am not a stranger to the dark."Hide away," they say, "’cause we don’t want your broken parts." I grew up in a very conservative, religious environment. My family, churches, and the Christian schools I attended always taught me that being gay was a sin. I hid that part of myself from everyone and fought so hard to make it go away. I didn’t want God to hate me. I didn’t want my "sin" to isolate me from my family or send me to hell. When the sharpest words wanna cut me down,I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out.I am brave; I am bruised; I am who I’m meant to be.This is me. It took a long time for me to make the words of this song my own. Coming out was a long and often difficult process. But the day that same-sex marriage was legalized in South Carolina, I finally decided to come out publically on social media. I thought about that moment when I first heard this song-the moment that I was able to unashamedly tell the world: THIS IS ME!  - Shelton This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard’s global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
