It Roars

It Roars - Erika Henningsen/Original Broadway Cast of Mean Girls

I'm sixteen living in paradise

With the lions and birds and stuff

But I'm sixteen and it's not enough

I'm alone I mean there's mom and dad

And the animals we observe

But frankly they're all on my last nerves

Nobody on the savanna understands

None of my closest friends even has hands

I've got dreams exciting me

Like a fire igniting me

I tried to confide in my lions

But they keep biting me

Did you ever get a feeling

Everybody else is happy

Everybody else has friends

And they're better friends than yours

It's a very recent feeling

But it's running through my body

And it roars

It roars

Bindi we've lost our funding and we're going to have to back to the US

Maybe I can meet an obese person

It's going be a difficult adjustment you'll have to go to a real school

Mom I would love that let's all try something new

We live in a tent

And adventure is what we do

I've got no time to cry

I got new things to try

Like high school and skateboards and rapping

And Starbucks Venti Chai

Did you ever get a feeling

That a whole new world is waiting

Bringing happiness and friends

To the brave girl who explores

It's a scary kind of feeling but it's so exhilarating

How it roars

It roars

It roars

Okay maybe they didn't see me

Staring at their little screens

Plus it's crowded

With all those teens

Hi teens

They're tough Challenge accepted

I'm trying to break into a pack

Like baboons it's natural they attack

I got to fight for the right to belong to fit in

Somebody doesn't fit

They want to be included like me

So eventually I'll win

New kid ignore her

I'll win just ignore her

Do you ever get a feeling

Everybody wants connection

Yes I know they have their friends but what is one friend more

No

'Cause I know I know this feeling

So I brush off their rejection

At our core

Just ignore her

You can't ignore

Just ignore her

The roar roar roar roar roar
