They say I'm an ugly duckling, out of place
A little lost in this crowded space
Hiding in shadows, afraid to be seen
But there's more inside than they could glean

They laugh, they stare, I look away
But I dream in colours beyond the grey

I'm not just an ugly duckling
I´m a swan in disguise
Breaking free from their judging
With wings ready to rise
Let them see the truth unfolding
I'll soar into the light
No more hiding, no more holding
I've found my place in flight

Days spent in silence, afraid of the shame
In the mirror, stranger with no name
But there's a fire, a spark within
Telling me now it's time to begin

I see through the doubts, past the disguise
There's more to me than meets the eyes

I'm not just an ugly duckling, I´m a swan in disguise
Breaking free from their judging
With wings ready to rise
Let them see the truth unfolding
I'll soar into the light
No more hiding, no more holding
I've found my place in flight

Now I spread my wings, let the truth be told
This is who I am, growing bold
Every feather shines, every part of me
Free at last, where I'm meant to be, final

No longer an ugly duckling
I'm a swan they couldn't see
In my truth, I find my power
And live as I'm meant to be
Let them see the truth unfolding
I'll soar into the light
No more hiding, no more holding
At last I rise tonight
