First grade, I see you girl alone in the world
Trying to paint in beautiful colors with an innocent mother
And the story as it's told, it's not a pretty one
But it's still a story I wanna unfold
'Cause baby, I love you, I don't really know you
I wanna show you that it's okay to be who you are
'Cause who you are is a star
Who you are is beautiful, beautiful, who you are to me
♪
Hmm-mm
And I know you get discouraged sometimes
'Cause you're scared that your father was right
And I promise you'll see the things that I see in time, hmm-mm
Now wait 'til there comes a day
When you get through the pain and all of the shame you hold inside
'Cause baby, I love you, I don't really know you
I wanna show you that it's okay to be who you are
'Cause who you are is a star
Who you are is beautiful, beautiful, who you are to me
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ah, oh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh, ah
'Cause baby, I love you, I don't really know you
I wanna show you that it's okay to be who you are
'Cause who you are is a star
Who you are is beautiful, beautiful, who you are to me
