Lyrics[]
Kari: What is my mom gonna say?
If she sees my ballet
And it's not what she thought it would be
She'll be so disappointed in me
When I was just a tyke
And went on my first hike
Climbed a mountain in seconds flat
Mom and Dad were so proud of that
From that to baking pies
I've always won first prize
Now I have to keep up that pace
There's no room for second place
Gotta reach a higher height
Shine brighter than starlight
I've got no choice
I've gotta get it right Sofia: You don't need to be number one
As long as you have lots of fun Kari: I've got no choice
I've gotta get it right
I can't have two left feet
Or even miss a beat
I'm not used to falling down
Gotta be perfect all around
And so, I have to try
And soon, I'll start to fly
When I dance so beautifully
Mom will say she's so proud of me
Gotta reach a higher height
Shine brighter than starlight
I've got no choice
I've gotta get it right Sofia: As long as it makes you smile
That's what makes it all worthwhile Kari: But I've got no choice
I've gotta get it right
Sofia: Kari, You did it! Kari: I did
Now I can rejoice
I've finally got it right
