"Imperfectly Me" – (c) 2025 Stephen Peck Music

Inspired by the late Dr. Robert Schuller — author, pastor, and founder of the Crystal Cathedral — this song celebrates the beauty in our flaws. Dr. Schuller’s "Possibility Thinking" and his book "Tough Times Never Last, Tough People Do" helped change my life. One of his sayings has stayed with me for decades: "It’s better to do anything imperfectly than nothing perfectly."

We’re all imperfect. We’re all glorious. This song is a reminder to embrace every part of ourselves — scars, quirks, triumphs, and all — and to live boldly as Imperfectly Me.

Imperfectly Me – © 2025 Stephen Peck Music
[Verse 1]
I used to wait for the perfect moment
A flawless sky before I'd fly
Kept my dreams inside their cages
Told myself it wasn’t time

[Pre-Chorus]
Been standin’ still, afraid to fall
Waitin’ till I knew it all
But nothin’ grows in all that doubt
You gotta move to let it out

[Chorus]
I fall, I rise, I roll, I try
Imperfect steps beneath this sky
No shame, no mask, no make-believe
I’m not perfect — I’m just me

[Verse 2]
I’ve missed too much tryin’ to be flawless
Held my tongue when I should’ve roared
But life don’t come with clean-cut edges
It’s a storm we’re meant to explore

[Pre-Chorus]
Been standin’ still, afraid to fall
Waitin’ till I knew it all
But nothin’ grows in all that doubt
You gotta move to let it out

[Chorus]
I fall, I rise, I roll, I try
Imperfect steps beneath this sky
No shame, no mask, no make-believe
I’m not perfect — I’m just me

[Bridge]
Move…
Let it move through me
Rise…
Even when I fall

[Final Chorus – Repeat with Passion]
I fall, I rise, I roll, I try
Imperfect steps beneath this sky
No shame, no mask, no make-believe
I’m not perfect — I’m just me

(Repeat last line with choir)
I’m not perfect — I’m just me
I’m not perfect — I’m just me
