"Welcome, Mia!," says the world
"Welcome, Mia!," says the world
Says the world: "I'm not everything I was meant to be,
There's war and peace and death and life in me
I will help you out, and I'll do my best to bring you down
I make kings and queens, then I steal their jeweled crowns
You will see the broken and the beautiful all around
But the good in me
Wants you free to
Shine, Mia
Shine,
Be loving and kind,
Mia
"Welcome, Mia!," says the world
"Welcome, Mia!," says the world
Says the world: I'll make you laugh, and I'll make you cry
I'll tell you truths, and there's no doubt I'll tell you lies
Look beyond me with your deepest longings, your hopes, and dreams,
While I'm telling you stories about what all this may mean
It's up to you to try to make sense of all these things
But the good in me
Wants you free to
Shine, Mia
You are as innocent as I was when I was new
I still have my friends, but I have got my enemies too
I don't know where I'm headed, guess I'm an awful lot like you
And the good in me,
Wants you free to
Shine, Mia
Shine,
Be loving and kind,
Mia
Shine, Mia
Shine,
Be loving and kind,
Mia
Shine, Mia
Shine,
Be loving and kind,
Mia
Shine, Mia ("Welcome, Mia!," says the world)
Shine, ("Welcome Mia!," says the world)
Be loving and kind,
Mia
Shine, Mia ("Welcome Mia!," says the world)
Shine, ("Welcome, Mia!", says the world)
Be loving and kind,
Mia ("Welcome, Mia!," says the world)
Shine, Mia
"Welcome, Mia!," says the world
