When we were kids
Me and my sister, we used to go down to the beach
And collect beautiful stones out of the water
But when we came home and got them out of our pockets
They would be just as gray as the stones in our driveway
And that's when it came to my mind
At the right place, at the right time, we all shine
Come on
Like a stone
(Listen) I had a dream I was a
Gray stone on the boardwalk
Nobody ever came my way, no, no
Then one day out of order
I fell into the water
And now I know why they say
Miracles can happen everyday
It doesn't matter where you're from
Kiss the world and take it on
You've got to know, you've gotta know
Someday you will see the sun
From a place where you belong
Just like a stone in the water
I used to look at guys
And all the way through junior high (junior high)
Wish I was a beauty queen, yeah, yeah
Now I look in the mirror
And I see it clearer
My life is not a magazine
But everybody is allowed to dream
It doesn't matter where you're from
Kiss the world and take it on
You've got to know, you've gotta know
Someday you will see the sun
From a place where you belong
Just like a stone in the water
(Like a stone) just like a stone in the water (yeah)
You can tell by one look in my direction
That there is no perfection
And that makes us what we are (what we are)
Your success is made from your decision
Baby, baby, listen
The question is where you are (where you are)
Everyone can be a superstar
It doesn't matter where you're from
(Where you're from) kiss the world and take it on
You've got to know
You've gotta know (you gotta know, you gotta know)
Someday you will see the sun (someday)
(You will see) from a place where you belong (you belong)
Just like a stone in the water (just like a stone)
It doesn't matter where you're from
(Doesn't matter) kiss the world and take it on (kiss the world)
(Kiss the world) you've got to know
(Kiss the world) you've gotta know (kiss the world)
Someday you will see the sun
From a place where you belong (you belong)
Just like a stone in the water
Like a stone in the water
Like a stone in the water, yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Like a stone in the water, yeah
It doesn't matter where you're from
Kiss the world and take it on now
Like a stone in the water, yeah (come on)
It doesn't matter where you're from
(Doesn't matter) kiss the world and take it on (kiss the world)
(Kiss the world) you've got to know
(Kiss the world) you've gotta know (kiss the world)
Someday you will see the sun (someday)
(You will see) from a place where you belong
Just like a stone in the water (just like a stone)
It doesn't matter where you're from (like a stone)
Kiss the world and take it on (like a stone)
You've got to know (like a stone)
You've gotta know (you gotta know, you gotta know)
Someday you will see the sun
From a place where you belong
Just like a stone in the water
