I used to sit alone in my room
Dreamin' of the spotlight where I'd bloom (bloom)
Nobody saw the fire in my eyes
But I knew deep inside, I'd rise (rise)
They say nobody cares 'til you win (win)
Nobody's listenin' till you begin (begin)
But I'm gonna show 'em all what I'm made of (made of)
I'll rise above, rise above
They used to pass me by on the street
Didn't give me a second glance, I'd repeat (repeat)
But little did they know what I could be
Now they're all beggin', please, listen to me
