It Roars

I'm sixteen living in paradise With the lions and birds and stuff But I'm sixteen and it's not enough I'm alone, I mean, there's mom and dad And the animals we observe But frankly they're all on my last nerves Nobody on the savanna understands None of my closest friends even has hands I've got dreams exciting me Like, a fire igniting me I tried to confide in my lions But they keep biting me Did you ever get a feeling Everybody else is happy Everybody else has friends And they're better friends than yours It's a very recent feeling But it's running through my body And it roars It roars Bindi, we've lost our funding And we're going to have to back to the US Maybe I can meet an obese person It's going be a difficult adjustment You'll have to go to a real school Mom, I would love that, let's all try something new We live in a tent And adventure is what we do True I've got no time to cry I got new things to try Like, high school, and skateboards and rapping And Starbucks Venti Chai Did you ever get a feeling That a whole new world is waiting Bringing happiness and friends To the brave girl who explores It's a scary kind of feeling, but it's so exhilarating How it roars It roars It roars Okay, maybe they didn't see me Staring at their little screens Plus, it's crowded With all those teens Hi, teens! Unsubscribe They're tough. Challenge accepted I'm trying to break into a pack Like baboons, it's natural they attack I got to fight for the right to belong, to fit in Somebody doesn't fit They want to be included, like me So eventually, I'll win New kid, ignore her! I'll win (Just ignore her!) Do you ever get a feeling? Everybody wants connection Yes, I know they have their friends, but what is one friend more No! 'Cause I know, I know this feeling We know this feeling So I brush off their rejection At our core Just ignore her You can't ignore Just ignore her The roar! (Roar. Roar. Roar. Roar.)
