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 nerve

Nobody on the savanna understands

None of my closest friends even has hands

I 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

Binti, we've lost our funding and we're gonna have to go back to the US

Maybe I can meet an obese person

It's gonna 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, adventure's what we do

True

I 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

To bring 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

They stare at their little screens

Plus, it's crowded with all these teens

Hi, teens

Unsubscribe

They're tough, challenge accepted

I'm tryna break into a pack

Like baboons, it's natural they attack

I gotta fight for the right to belong and fit in

Somebody doesn't fit in

They want to be included like me

So eventually I'll win (New kid, poor her)

I'll win (Just ignore her)

Did 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 they know this feeling (We know this feeling)

So I brush off their rejection

At our core (Just ignore her)

We can't ignore (Just ignore her)

The roar (Roar, roar, roar, roar)
