Early in my twenties

My eye shadow was shimmering

It doesn’t get better than this

I was getting ready for singing at a party

Tucked up in the Hollywood Hills

Everybody’s somebody

I feel like a nobody

Why was I invited to this?

The man from all the movies

Just walked across the room to me and said

“All the pain that you’re hiding

It’s the same light that’s shining

You’re a one-of-a-kind, so just be you”

They say to keep it light and play the songs they like

So I picked just two

One that’s kinda corny, it really wasn’t for me

But my manager said it was good

The other’s sorta dark, but it’s coming from the heart

And they don’t wanna hear that from you

But I learned my greatest lesson

From talking to the man that’s on the moon

‘Cause he said

“All the pain that you’re hiding

It’s the same light that’s shining

You’re a one-of-a-kind, so just be you”

It was a short interaction

He said, “I really liked your second tune

It’s gotta come from the heart

Always go with the song that feels special to you”

All the pain that you’re hiding

It’s the same light worth shining

You’re a one-of-a-kind, so just be you

All the pain that you’re hiding

It’s the same heart worth shining

You’re a one-of-a-kind, so just be you
