--

You are love, exuberant love.
You are life, unstoppable life.
Loud, stomping feet, eyes glitter and shine
Your arms and your heart to the world open wide.

You are magic, wondrous magic.
You are laughter, bubbling laughter.
Loud, stomping feet, eyes glitter and shine
Your arms and your heart to the world open wide.

You are joy, spell-binding joy.
You are light, unshakeable light.
Loud, stomping feet, eyes glitter and shine
Your arms and your heart to the world open wide

Carry it with you as you walk,
Though the road can be cold and dark
You have the power to share all you are.

You are love. You are life.
You are laughter. You are light.
The world needs your light, this place needs your song.
Never be sorry to be who you are.
