Am Dm G C
For every child that has been born, there is a chance to shine,

And lift your hands up to the sky and say it loud and proud,
Am D G Am D G Am
"I have been here, read my name, read my name!"

Dm Am E 
And raise your voice above the crowd and let them know you've said..

Am Dm G C
Endlessly amazing and inventive that we are,
Dm Am E B7
