When I was younger, yesterday
Things were simple, things were safe
I never dreamed that I could see a better life for you and me
Everyone told me to stay
I held my breath, I made the leap
Opened a door I'd never seen
I took a chance, I made it through
Now everything is coming true
And this is what it's like to be
Out of my shell
Just like a pearl. Luminous, rare
Light up the world
Right in the swell
Still the same girl
Making things better, better, better
Light up the world
Changing colors, making waves
Something new in every day
Wide awake, I live the dream
Beneath the stars, under the sea
And now the current carries me
Out of my shell
Just like a pearl. Luminous, rare
Light up the world
Right in the swell
Still the same girl
Making things better, better, better
Light up the world
You know make it your own
Come home
Light up the world
Into the glow
When I was younger, yesterday
Out of my shell (out of my shell)
Just like a pearl (just like a pearl)
Luminous, rare (luminous, rare)
Light up the world (light up the world)
Right in the swell (right in the swell)
Still the same girl (still the same girl)
Making things better, better, better
Light up the world (out of my shell)
Just like a pearl
Right in the swell (light up the world)
Right in the swell (light up the world)
Still the same girl (light up the world)
Making things better, better, better
Light up the world
