ORIMERAYou Are Special
Your worth does not depend on other voices
You Are Special addresses someone who doubts themselves amid other people’s voices. The song reminds them that they do not need anyone’s permission to take their place or hide what makes them different.
Sparks, scars and light run through the lyrics as images of an identity that deserves space. The chorus returns to a simple affirmation: you are special, even when others fail to see it.
Original lyrics
[Verse 1]They talk too loudLet them fade awayYou got a sparkThat they can't replace
Small hands, big fireQuiet, but you riseEven in the darkYou draw your own sky
[Pre-Chorus]So don't look downWhen they pull you inTheir noise is oldYour soul is new again
[Chorus]You are specialSpecial, specialDon't waste your timeOn voices, voicesYou are specialSpecial, specialKeep your heart clearAnd let it show
[Verse 2]You say, "Am I enough?"Baby, look at meEvery scar you hideIs a part of beauty
No need to chaseWhat was never yoursYou were made to bloomMore than they ignore
[Pre-Chorus]So don't look downWhen they pull you inTheir noise is oldYour soul is new again
[Chorus]You are specialSpecial, specialDon't waste your timeOn voices, voicesYou are specialSpecial, specialKeep your heart clearAnd let it show
[Bridge]If they try to dim youHold your head up highWhat they couldn't seeNever was a lieYou don't need permissionTo take your spaceYou were born with lightNo one can erase
[Chorus]You are specialSpecial, specialDon't waste your timeOn voices, voicesYou are specialSpecial, specialKeep your heart clearAnd let it show
