    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 nerve

    Nobody on the savanna understands


    None of my closest friends even has hands
    I 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
    ADVERTISING

    [MR. HERON, spoken]


    Binti, we've lost our funding and we're going to have to go back to the US.

    [CADY, spoken]
    Maybe I can meet an obese person.

    [MRS. HERON, spoken]


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

    [CADY]
    Mom, I would love that, let's all try something new
    We live in a tent
    Adventure is what we do

    [MRS. HERON, spoken]


    True.

    [CADY]
    I 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
    To bring 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


    They stare at their little screens
    Plus, it's crowded
    With all these teens
    Hi, teens!

    [SONJA ACQUINO, spoken]

    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 and fit in
    [STUDENTS]
    Somebody doesn't fit in

    [CADY]
    They want to be included, like me
    So eventually
    I'll win

    [STUDENTS]
    New kid, poor her!

    [CADY & (STUDENTS)]


    I'll win (Just ignore her!)

    [STUDENTS]
    Did you ever get a feeling?

    [CADY]
    Everybody wants connection
    Yes, I know they have their friends
    But what is one friend more?

    [STUDENTS]
    No!

    [CADY]
    'Cause I know

    [CADY the (STUDENTS)]


    They know this feeling (We know this feeling)

    [CADY]
    So, I brush off their rejection
    At our core

    [STUDENTS]
    Just ignore her

    [CADY]
    We can't ignore

    [STUDENTS]
    Just ignore her

    [CADY & (STUDENTS)]


    The roar! (Roar, roar, roar, roar)

    [MR. DUVALL, spoken]
