Sparkle

(verse 1)

I don't really know how to shine

a diamond in the rough

glass that hasn't been cleaned

a shoe that's always untied

I want to be beautiful

the sun rises and it sets

but I always stay pitch black

sayonara to normal

I want to be something

average at everything

excelling at nothing in particular

illusions of grandeur surround me

I don't have what it takes

people always say we're one of a kind

but I blur into the crowd easily

how can I be unique

with this face, mind, and body?

a wallflower without a scent

a guitar that has no strings to strum

my hands are small, but my dreams are big

I'm going to make it someday

just laugh it off

they treat me like I'm dumb but I know better

I have speed oh and I can run and dive

(chorus)

I may have been born untalented

but I have determination

my ideals may be stupid

but I'll choose to keep believing in them

until they're shiny

oh

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

with enough courage I can be brave

with many laughs come many smiles

if I believe that I'm a star

I can sparkle too

yes, I can

if I love with all my heart

I won't be disappointed

if I keep going forward, I won't fall back

I want to protect everything

(chorus)

destiny can take a seat and wait

I'm making my own choices with my own hands

no more of my heart wanting

and my words not making sense

today I'll make things better

because I know I can

together we can be one

together we can be anything

we can sparkle all the way home

(end chorus)

(verse 3)

nice to meet you

how are you?

are you tired of life always winning?

don't feel bullied anymore

1, 2, feel strong

if you want to be serious

let your fist be made of iron

illusions surround us

but we know better

if you want to be kind

let your heart be full of pure gold

I feel weak sometimes

but I know eventually I'll be strong

I can hear words of my impending glory

I'll find the answers myself

what is right and what is wrong

I don't know

but I'll find out

I know

(chorus)

destiny can take a seat and wait

I'm making my own choices with my own hands

no more of my heart wanting

and my words not making sense

today I'll make things better

because I know I can

(end chorus)

(bridge)

they said they saw heaven in my eyes

I found it here on Earth

with everything and everyone that I love

because I'm at peace with myself

I found love and loss

glory and anger

and everything in between

because that's the journey of life

(chorus)

destiny can take a seat and wait

I'm making my own choices with my own hands

no more of my heart wanting

and my words not making sense

today I'll make things better

because I know I can

together we can be one

together we can be anything

we can sparkle all the way home

(end chorus)
