Harmonica Echoes in Neon

Lyrics

Verse 1 Monday morning, chatting away,
“Best party ever on Saturday!”
Everyone’s smiling, laughing out loud,
But I feel tiny in a great big crowd. My tummy sinks, I look at the floor,
Wasn’t on the guest list, that’s for sure.
My heart feels heavy, my cheeks turn red,
Lots of worried thoughts inside my head. Pre-Chorus Mum said, “Come and sit with me,
There’s something I think you need to see.
This happens to grown-ups too,
It doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you.” Chorus Not every party, not every game,
Changes who you are or your name.
You’re still funny, kind and bright,
Still the star that shines so bright! Sometimes numbers have to stay small,
Sometimes teams invite just them all.
Sometimes people click in different ways,
That doesn’t change your awesome ways! Verse 2 Maybe cousins came instead,
Maybe numbers had to stay.
Maybe basketball friends were there,
Maybe family filled each chair. And if someone’s mean on purpose too,
That says much more about them than you.
Kind friends lift you, cheer you on,
They’re the ones where you belong. Bridge I paused and felt the sting, let it settle in my chest,
Then I saw the quiet strength in choosing what’s best.
Not every door needs opening, not every call needs reply,
I’m learning to stand taller, even when I wonder why. Final Chorus No invite? That’s alright!
I’ll still shine, I’ll still smile bright!
One little party doesn’t decide,
The superstar I’ve got inside! No invite? That’s okay!
I’ll keep smiling anyway!
My true friends like me for me,
That’s exactly who I’ll be! Your special friends will always see,
The brilliant person you’re meant to be.
You don’t need every invitation…
You’re already worth a celebration! Outro Some days yes…
Some days no…
That’s just how friendships grow.
Keep your sparkle, keep your grin…
The right people always let you in.
