It Roars

CADY: 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 MR. HERON, spoken: Binti, we've lost our funding and we're going to have to go back to the US. CADY, spoken: Maybe I can meet an obese person. MRS.

HERON, spoken: True. CADY: 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?
