[C]First grade, I see you [Am7]girl alone in the world
[F]Trying to paint in beautiful [G]colors with an innocent mother
[C]And the story as it's [Am7]told, it's not a pretty one
[F]But it's still a [G]story I wanna unfold
[C]'Cause baby, I love you, [Am7]I don't really know you
[F]But I wanna show you that [G]it's okay to be who you are
[C]'Cause who you [Am7]are is a star
[F]Who you are is beautiful, [G]beautiful, who you are to me
[C]♪
[Am7]Hmm-mm
[F]And I know [G]you get discouraged sometimes
[C]'Cause you're scared that [Am7]your father was right
[F]And I promise you'll see the [G]things that I see in time, hmm-mm
[C]Now wait 'til [Am7]there comes a day
[F]When you get through the pain and [G]all of the shame you hold inside
[C]'Cause baby, I love you, [Am7]I don't really know you
[F]I wanna show you that it's [G]okay to be who you are
[C]'Cause who you [Am7]are is a star
[F]Who you are is beautiful, [G]beautiful, who you are to me
[C]Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Am7]Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, [F]ah, oh
[G]Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[C]Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, [Am7]oh, ah
[F]'Cause baby, I love you, [G]I don't really know you
[C]I wanna show you that it's [Am7]okay to be who you are
[F]'Cause who you [G]are is a star
[C]Who you are is beautiful, [Am7]beautiful, who you are to me
