F                                      Dm7
First grade, I see a girl alone in the world
                             A#                       C
Trying to paint in beautiful colors with an innocent mother

          F                         Dm7
And the story as its told, is not a pity one
                  A#               C
But it's still a story, I wanna unfold

Chorus:
               F
'Cause baby, I love you
               Dm7
I don't really know you
         A#                  C                  F
I wanna show you that it's okay to be who you are
               Dm7
'Cause who you are is a star
         A#
Who you are is beautiful, beautiful
C
Who you are to me

And I know you get discouraged sometimes
'Cause you're scared that your father was right
And I promise you'll see the things that I see in time

Now wait til there comes a day
When you get through the pain
And all of the shame you hold inside

Chorus - x2
