Whatever We Are

Can I just be someone
Instead of part of something
Instead of just one more

If the box that they made
Doesn’t come in my shape
What does it stand for

We might not be on the radio
We’re not beautiful movie stars
We don’t need to be just the same
Because whatever we are, we are

We may be different from what they know
Doesn’t mean we can’t be superstars
We don’t need to be just the same
‘Cause whatever we are, we are
Whatever we are, we are

Who are they to judge someone
Who beats to his own drum
When they’re not even on key

Don’t tell me I’d be better
If I followed to the letter
Blueprints for someone other than me

‘Cause you know
We might not be on the radio
We’re not beautiful movie stars
We don’t need to be just the same
Because whatever we are, we are

We may be different from what they know
Doesn’t mean we can’t be superstars
We don’t need to be just the same
‘Cause whatever we are, we are
Whatever we are, we are

Don’t ask when
I’ll fit right in
Just count me out

Don’t ask when
I’ll fit right in
Just count me out

We might not be on the radio
We’re not beautiful movie stars
We don’t need to be just the same
Because whatever we are, we are

We may be different from what they know
Doesn’t mean we can’t be superstars
We don’t need to be just the same
‘Cause whatever we are, we are
Whatever we are, we are
