That Special

I think in a past life I was corrected one too many times
I hit elevation and in the same breath I cut me down to size
Too big, too loud, too sure of what I got
To everyone who told me that I'm not

What if I am that special? What if I am I am
What if I sing so loud and out it echoes off the edge
What if I am that special? What if I give a damn
I know you're trying to tell me I'm too much, and what if I am

I'm finding my light now, but what if I shine so bright I burn your eyes
I feel it inside how it's in my blood to come down from the high
First place, first prize, first time I let 'em talk
To everyone who told me that I'm not

What if I am that special? What if I am I am
What if I sing so loud and out it echoes off the edge
What if I am that special? What if I give a damn
I know you're trying to tell me I'm too much, and what if I am

How can I wish on stars that don't make you feel small
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 am that special? What if I am I am
What if I sing so loud and out it echoes off the edge
What if I am that special? What if I give a damn
I know you're trying to tell me I'm too much, And what if I am

What if I am I am I am? What if I am I am I am
What if I am I am I am that special
What if I am that special
