Extraordinary - Mandy Moore

I was a bay tree

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 blowing
I know I am another sparkle in the sky
I shine on copper
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 wake up
some day I am my own prey
Stopping off at a sidewalk cafe
The wind is playing in the trees
Kicking up confetti leaves
Sings 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
