I am God's dream!
I'm a human sunbeam.

Watch me light up a room
with my confident gleam. 

I'm playful and brave. 
I'm a one-kid parade. 

I will be who I am
'cause I'm wonderfully made.

Watch me light up a room
with my confident gleam. 

I'm playful and brave. 
I'm a one-kid parade. 

I will be who I am
'cause I'm wonderfully made.
