lyrics

You’re so special
You can do great things
Everyone’s watching
Actually, they’re not, but they might

You’re so special
You can save the world
Set your mind to it
That’s what you’re for

Wouldn’t it be great if all of that was true
Wouldn’t it be great if we could all be the few
Seven billion special people doing great things
Why is it that my life sometimes seems so lame?

What’s the meaning of life?
What’s the point of doing anything when you’re not famous?
What’s the meaning of life?
What’s the point of doing anything when you’re not paid for it?

You and I both know
We’re not supposed to care about fame and
money, now don’t you know
That’s what all the rich famous people say

When you fall down
You get right back up
If you keep falling down
There might be something wrong with your legs

It takes millions of people to change the world
Start with yourself and then spread the word
Only two or three will listen cause you’re not well known
You were one in a million now you’re on your own

What’s the meaning of life?
What’s the point of doing anything when you’re not famous?
What’s the meaning of life?
What’s the point of doing anything when you’re not paid for it?

You and I both know
We’re not supposed to care about fame and
money, now don’t you know
We're supposed to care about making people
Happy and doing great things
Changing the world
Follow your dreams
Find your purpose
You’re supposed to do it
Without any fame or money
Now don’t you know
How do you do it?
How do you do it?
How do you do it?
How do you do it?
