THAT SPECIAL

I reckon in a past life
I got corrected one too many times
I reached a high point
And in the same breath I brought myself down a peg

Too big, too loud
Too certain of what I have
To all those who said I'm not

What if I'm that damn special?
What if I am, I am
What if I belt it out so loud
It bounces off the edge
What if I'm that damn special?
What if I give a damn?
I know you'll try to say I'm too much
And what if I am?

I'm discovering my inner light now
But what if I shine so bright it blinds you
I feel it deep inside
It's in my veins to come down from the high

First place, first prize
First time I let them talk
To all those who said I'm not

What if I'm that damn special?
What if I am, I am
What if I belt it out so loud
It bounces off the edge
What if I'm that damn special?
What if I give a damn?
I know you'll try to say I'm too much
And what if I am?

How can I wish upon stars
That don't belittle you
I know my feet
Won't touch the ground until
I'm falling in love with the new me
I think you would too if you knew me
Instead we put me through hell
I keep asking myself

What if I'm that damn special?
What if I am, I am
What if I belt it out so loud
It bounces off the edge (ooh, ooh)
What if I'm that damn special? (Special)
What if I give a damn?
I know you'll try to say I'm too much
And what if I am?
