Verse 1:
I can kinda sing, when the moon is high,
With a little practice, I reach for the sky.
I can kinda play, my guitar's a friend,
Strumming out my secrets, when the night begins to blend.

Chorus:
I’m kinda smart, in a funny little way,
Finding wisdom in the moments, come what may.
I’m kinda pretty, but I don’t need a crown,
Just a heart that’s open and feet on the ground.

Verse 2:
I can kinda act, in the stories that I tell,
Wearing all my layers, I’m under a spell.
Every little quirk that I claim as mine,
Makes me who I am, and oh, I feel divine.

Chorus:
I’m kinda smart, in a funny little way,
Finding wisdom in the moments, come what may.
I’m kinda pretty, but I don’t need a crown,
Just a heart that’s open and feet on the ground.

Bridge:
And I’ll dance through the doubts, that creep in at night,
With a melody humming, I’ll chase the light.
I’m learning to shine, in my own little sphere,
With every little talent, I hold dear.

Chorus:
I’m kinda smart, in a funny little way,
Finding wisdom in the moments, come what may.
I’m kinda pretty, but I don’t need a crown,
Just a heart that’s open and feet on the ground.

Outro:
So here’s to the kinks in the perfect design,
I’m learning to love every piece that is mine.
I can kinda sing, I can kinda play,
In this beautiful journey, I find my way.
