Lyrics
Why've you been sitting 'round
Letting them get you down
I see your furrowed frown
But you're better than that
They know nothing at all
Can't hear the trumpet's call
Follow the bouncing ball
But you're better than that
Please don't walk away
I've got something to say to you
You are magnificent
You are so brilliant
I'm gonna watch your rising star
And you're unstoppable
You are un-top-able
Just the way you are
Don't listen what they say
Discover your own way
Avoid the games they play
But you're better than that
You can break all the rules
Using your finest tools
Leave behind all those fools
But you're better than that
Please don't walk away
I've got something to say to you
You are magnificent
You are so brilliant
I'm gonna watch your rising star
And you're unstoppable
You are un-top-able
Just the way you are
You were born perfect in a state of love
What all the angels had been dreaming of
And if they don't get it
You mustn't let it
Get hold of you
'Cause you're better, better, better
You are much better than that! (repeat chorus)
