Lyrics

It was Graduation night
And the crowd came alive
As Kimberly was called up to the mic
She wasn?t the class president
Or the valedictorian
But she was chosen to give the speech tonight
And her legs were shaking
As she stood up from her chair
And for a moment
All she could do was stare
Then she said:

CHORUS
I, I just do better when I?m loved
And you all have loved me
Lifted me up and made me
Better than I am
Better than I was
I just do better when I?m loved

Now you could have heard a pin drop
As a hush fell upon the crowd
No one expected much much less something so profound
In the silence Kimberly?s tears began to fall
But they disappeared
When she heard their applause
And everyone felt the magic
In that star filled night
For 18 years they called her special
And tonight she proved them right
When she said

CHORUS

Bridge:
It?s funny how the simplest things
Bring such clarity
And how those simple words
Have meant so much to me
