It’s a lonely place to be
When people just don’t understand me
I always try and learn how to blend
They always say that I don’t fit in
And its not easy being me
When people shun originality
A place where I belong I have sought
But they say I’m not allowed inside their box
But I remember when Mama told
Back when I was in grade school
Don’t you worry baby
Cuz everything you are is cool

Believe me when i tell ya
That You are a star
And just because they don’t see it
That doesn't mean that you aren’t
Oh Oh

They don't know they don't know they don't know they don't know that you are extraordinary
You’re extraordinary
They don't know they don't know they don't know they don't know that you are extraordinary
You’re extraordinary


I’m just a soul in a sea of people that surround me
The stars above cast their reflection
The masses look up to them for direction
I’m trying hard to be me
But I’m tempted to just roll with the sea
Forget about my own identity
Be like everybody else and just copy
But I remember when Mama told me that I am original
Don’t you worry baby
Cuz everything you are is beautiful
Believe me when i tell ya
That You are a star
And just because they don’t see it
That doesn't mean that you aren’t
Oh Oh

They don't know they don't know they don't know they don't know that you are extraordinary
You’re extraordinary
They don't know they don't know they don't know they don't know that you are extraordinary
You’re extraordinary

I’ve gotta decision to make better be wise
Will I sacrifice myself to become like everybody else
Or will I rise
I wanna stand up but I’m drowning under pressure
Don’t got enough strength to fight the tide
Not enough love from others
Everybody needs love
Its kinda like food
Without there’s no way we’ll survive
And since people are just not trine love on me
I don’t know if I’ll remain alive

I resolve to find strength somewhere else
I won't let the absence of their love tear me down anymore
I will love myself
