(CHORUS)

But you were born to be a star
You were born to be a star
But you’ll never shine if you’re not true to who you are

It seems like you’re the only one who feels this way
And so you hide yourself and try to fade away
You don’t do anything to stand out from the crowd
And you’re afraid you’ll never make yourself feel proud
And you want to cry out loud

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Turn the pressure off and take a brand new view
Your only competition is inside of you
So open up your heart because it's time you knew
How beautiful you are

But you were born to be a star
You were born to be a star
But you’ll never shine if you’re not
Never shine if you’re not
Never shine if you’re not true to who you are
