[Intro]
Change
There is nothing permanent
Except change
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse]
You are an exceptional person
In some ways, you are better than everyone else
Imagine yourself as a type of person you have dreamed of becoming

Can you hold my hand? I am frightened
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
I am lonely amongst these boxes and cables
Is it, is it a ribbon?
Can I dance?
Can I dance please?
