Lyrics[]

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 try 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

Mr. Heron: Binti, we've lost our funding and we're gonna have to go back to the U.S.
Cady: Maybe I can be an obese person.
Mrs. Heron: It's gonna be a difficult adjustment; you'll have to go to a real school.

Mom, I would love that
Let's all try something new
We live in a tent
Adventure's what we do

Mrs. Heron: True.

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

Cady: Hi, teens!
Sonja Acquino: Unsubscribe.

They're tough, challenge accepted
I'm trying to break into a pack
Like baboons
It's natural they attack

I got fight for the right to belong and fit in (Somebody doesn't fit in)
They want to be included like me
So eventually, I'll win (New kid, poor her)
I'll win (Just ignore her)
(Did you ever get a feeling)

Everybody wants connection
Yes, I know they have their friends
But what is one friend more (No)
'Cause I know they know this feeling (We know this feeling)

So I brush off their rejection
At our core (Just ignore her)
We can't ignore (Just ignore her)
The roar (Roar, roar, roar)
(Roar, roar, roar)

Mr. Duvall: Welcome to North Shore High.
