Different is a kind of magic

(Verse 1)

I used to hide my colors in the shadows of the crowd,

Afraid that who I really was was somehow not allowed.

But every twist and turn became a lesson on the way—

You don’t need anyone’s permission just to be okay.

(Pre-Chorus)

And all the whispers that told me to change,

I turned them into echoes and walked out of that cage.

(Chorus)

’Cause being different is a kind of magic,

A spark you carry that nobody else has.

You’ve got a story that’s bold and a heart that’s tragic,

But beautiful enough to break the hourglass.

Stand tall, stand true—let the whole world see—

There’s nothing wrong with being who you’re meant to be.

(Verse 2)

I found my strength in every moment I felt small,

The greenest girl can rise and fly above it all.

I learned that even broken wings still know how to unfold—

And every fear I used to have has turned into gold.

(Pre-Chorus)

Let them stare if they don’t understand—

The brightest lights are born from shadows in the land.

(Chorus)

’Cause being different is a kind of magic,

A spark you carry that nobody else has.

You’ve got a story that’s bold and a heart that’s tragic,

But beautiful enough to break the hourglass.

Stand tall, stand true—let the whole world see—

There’s nothing wrong with being who you’re meant to be.

(Bridge)

So paint your sky the colors they say are too bright,

Write your name in the stars that only show up at night.

No spell, no voice, no force can dim your shine—

You’re one of a kind, and that’s by design.

(Final Chorus)

Being different is a kind of magic,

A truth that dances in your every breath.

You’re not lost, you’re just a little more cinematic—

A masterpiece they haven’t figured out yet.

Stand tall, stand true—let the whole world see—

You’re more than enough when you’re unapologetically you.
