[Verse 1] They laughed at my walk, said I looked wrong Called me weird every day too long Feathers grey, not gold like theirs But I flew higher through the stares [Pre-Chorus] Tried to break me, but they just woke me Now I glow, they can't unsee [Chorus] I was always a swan, just stuck in the shell You were blind to the shine I held Ugly to you? That’s fine by me I’m beauty in motion, wild and free I was always a swan Always, always a swan [Verse 2] Mirror said I’m not your type But I paint my wings with pride No more hiding in the crowd Watch me own it, say it loud [Pre-Chorus] You threw stones, I built a throne Now I rise all on my own [Chorus] I was always a swan, just stuck in the shell You were blind to the shine I held Ugly to you? That’s fine by me I’m beauty in motion, wild and free I was always a swan Always, always a swan [Bridge] Let them talk, let them hate Swans don’t flap, they elevate Feathers made of firelight Dark or bright, I rule the sky [Final Chorus] I was always a swan, just stuck in the shell You were blind to the shine I held Ugly to you? That’s fine by me I’m beauty in motion, wild and free I was always a swan Always, always a swan
