When I was younger, yesterday, e-ooh-oh-oh-oh

Things were simple, things were safe, e-ooh-oh-oh-oh

I never dreamed that I could seeA better life for you and me

Everyone told me to stay

I held my breath, I made the leap, e-ooh-oh-oh-oh

Opened a door I′d never seen, e-ooh-oh-oh-oh

I took a chance, I made it through

Now everything is coming true

And this is what it's like to be...

Out of my shell

Just like a pearl

Luminous, rare

Light up the world

Right in the swell

Still the same girl

Making things better, better, better

Light up the world

Changing colours, making waves, e-ooh-oh-oh-oh

Something new in every day, e-ooh-oh-oh-oh

Wide awake, I live the dream

Beneath the stars, under the sea

And now the current carries me

Out of my shell

Just like a pearl

Luminous, rare

Light up the world

Right in the swell

Still the same girl

Making things better, better, better

Light up the world

You know

Make it your own

Come home

Light up the world

Into the glow

When I was younger, yesterday

Out of my shell (out of my shell)

Just like a pearl (just like a pearl)

Luminous, rare (luminous, rare)

Light up the world (light up the world)

Right in the swell (right in the swell)

Still the same girl (still the same girl)

Making things better, better, better (making things better)

Out of my shell (light up the world)

Just like a pearl

Luminous, rare (light up the world)

Light up the world

Right in the swell (light up the world)

Still the same girl

Making things better, better, better (light up the world)

Light up the world
