Early in my twenties
My eye shadow was shimmering
It doesn’t get better than this
I was getting ready for singing at a party
Tucked up in the Hollywood Hills
Everybody’s somebody
I feel like a nobody
Why was I invited to this?
The man from all the movies
Just walked across the room to me and said

“All the pain that you’re hiding
It’s the same light that’s shining
You’re a one-of-a-kind, so just be you”

They say to keep it light and play the songs they like
So I picked just two
One that’s kinda corny, it really wasn’t for me
But my manager said it was good
The other’s sorta dark, but it’s coming from the heart
And they don’t wanna hear that from you
But I learned my greatest lesson
From talking to the man that’s on the moon
‘Cause he said

“All the pain that you’re hiding
It’s the same light that’s shining
You’re a one-of-a-kind, so just be you”

It was a short interaction
He said, “I really liked your second tune
It’s gotta come from the heart
Always go with the song that feels special to you”

All the pain that you’re hiding
It’s the same light worth shining
You’re a one-of-a-kind, so just be you
All the pain that you’re hiding
It’s the same heart worth shining
You’re a one-of-a-kind, so just be you
