Encanto

I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous
I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is
I move mountains, I move churches
And I glow 'cause I know what my worth is
I don't ask how hard the work is
Got a rough indestructible surface
Diamonds and platinum, I find 'em, I flatten 'em
I take what I'm handed, I break what's demanding
But
Under the surface
I feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three-ring circus
Under the surface
Was Hercules ever like "Yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus"?

Because the truth is, Gift or no Gift, I am just as special as the rest of my family.

I will never be good enough for you. Will I? No matter how hard I try. No matter how hard any of us tries.

Hey, grew to live in fear of Bruno stuttering or stumbling
I can always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling
I associate him with the sound of falling sand,
It's a heavy lift with a gift so humbling
Always left Abuela and the family fumbling
Grappling with prophecies they couldn't understand
Do you understand?

I just wanted to be like everyone else and I couldn't

My tía Pepa
Her mood affects the weather
When she's unhappy
Well, the temperature gets weird
My tío Bruno
(We don't talk about Bruno!)
They say he saw the future, one day he disappeared
And that's my mom Julieta, here's her deal,
The truth is, she can heal you with a meal,
Her recipes are remedies for real
If you're impressed, imagine how I feel!
