Lyrics:

[English]

Oh, you got power, superpowers

Do you even know how to wield them?

All God's children are special

But not like you, no, not like you

You're just like a flower (flower)

You're ever-giving, that's a given

All God's children (all God's children), are special (whoa)

But not like you, no, not like you

(Lift it, lift it, lift it)

Lift your head to the sky (to the sky, oh, sky, sky)

(Lift it, lift it, lift it, lift it)

Mm, it's crazy to say this, but you're the greatest (you are the greatest)

Can't explain it (oh)

I know that you know the truth

They can't deny you, yeah, they can't deny you, it's true

...

Yeah, remember Vegas? You come a long way, kid

And let me just say this

Oh, yeah, you're the main character now

You're the main character now

(Lift it, lift it, lift it)

Lift your head to the sky (to the sky, oh, sky, sky)

(Lift it, lift it, lift it, lift it)

(You're the main character now)

(You're the main character now)

Oh, yeah

...
