I was a daydream Quiet and unseen I lived in stories But inside I kept a mystery I was a starling Nobody's darling Flying in perfect circles Just for company And now I'm ready And now I'm ready And now I'm ready to be Extraordinary A midnight airplane A window glowing I know I am another sparkle in the sky I shine uncovered Still undiscovered But you must see me In the corner of your eye And now I'm ready And now I'm ready And now I'm ready to be Extraordinary Waking up to week of sundays I am my own parade Stopping off at a sidewalk cafe The wind is playing up in the trees Kicking up confetti leaves Seems as if it's all to say And now I'm ready And now I'm ready And now I'm ready to be Extraordinary And now I'm ready And now I'm ready And now I'm ready to be Extraordinary
