Your shadow in the dark, surrounded by the sharks
I can hear them chip away at your golden heart
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh yeah, oh yeah, hey, hey
No it’s no accident and they are not your friends
If they try to change you then you better exchange them
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh yeah, oh yeah, hey, hey
Don’t be lonely, cause there’s no one the same
You’re not the only one who’s feeling this way
Who cares about the norm?
You’ve been perfect from the day that you were born
Like a unicorn
Just like a unicorn, hey
You’re stronger than you know, red diamonds in the snow
They not gonna outshine you, they got nothing on your glow
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh yeah, oh yeah, hey, hey
Yeah, we are who we are and we love who we love
And if I’m feeling something, there’s no way to turn it off
No-oh, no-oh, no-oh, no, oh yeah, yeah
When you feel lonely, cause there’s no one the same
You’re not the only one who’s feeling this way
Who cares about the norm?
You’ve been perfect from the day that you were born
Like a unicorn
Just like a unicorn, hey
I am what I am, you are who you are
We love in the day who we love in the dark
I am what I am, you are who you are
We love in the day who we love in the dark
One on one, there’s only one
One on one, there’s only one
One on one, there’s only one
One on one, there’s only one
When you feel lonely, cause there’s no one the same
You’re not the only one that’s feeling this way
Who cares about the norm?
You’ve been perfect from the day that you were born
Like a unicorn
Just like a unicorn, hey
Like a unicorn
I am who I am, you are who you are
We love in the day who we love in the dark
Like a unicorn
I love what I got, no matter what
I’ll be for what I am and not what I’m not
Embracing Uniqueness and Inner Strength
In “Unicorn,” Natasha Bedingfield delivers a powerful anthem about embracing individuality and rejecting conformity. The song opens with vivid imagery of vulnerability—”Your shadow in the dark, surrounded by the sharks”—painting a picture of someone who stands out in a world that can sometimes feel hostile. Through uplifting lyrics and catchy refrains, Bedingfield reassures listeners that being different is not only normal but also beautiful. The recurring metaphor of the unicorn highlights the rarity and value of uniqueness, encouraging self-love and self-acceptance. The track celebrates authenticity, urging us to ignore societal norms and to cherish the qualities that make us special from birth.
