Prompt: 11. Write your own theme song!
Quick voice memo on my phone at work where I wrote the song - you can hear a ska band rehearsing in the background. Sorry!
Wanted to write like a "generic" Disney-style "unlikely hero" type song as I did this prompt last year and wanted to do something different this time.
The black sheep
The odd man out
The weirdo
The cast out
Unlikely hero of this tale
Coming of age
Just trying to get through the day
Who would look to me for change
When I’m underrated again and again
I’m just waiting to be good enough
When will I be good enough
The screwball
The oddity
Eccentric
The freak
Not one for the spotlight
Inspirational character
More like a fish out of water
Who would look to me to save
When I’m overlooked again and again
I’m just waiting to be good enough
When will I be good enough
Waiting for that miracle to occur
When I start moving up in the world
Well now’s the time
No longer on the sidelines
I worked hard to play by the rules
But your standards don’t apply
I let it go, now I’m free
Found my voice, standing on my own two feet
Now you see all of me
Who I’ve always been
Unique; rare
The one who always cared
Overlooked and underrated
But finally appreciated
Now I’m good enough
I was always good enough

@celineellis yeah, I've definitely got an arrangement in mind for this when I can spend sometime on it.

I’m hearing the Disney chorus singing ‘you’re already good enough’ back to you in the chorus!! Love that you chose that Disney vibe for your theme song!!
