Mom told me she often listened to Stevie Wonder
While she was kindly waiting for me to come into the world
I came knowing that we never really see
Never, no never, as well as with the heart
We spend our lives counting what we don't have
Sometimes putting our faith in the grayest of states
We forget that we are well, that from the inside
It doesn't take away the tears, but me

I do like Dumbo
I only fly
Above my flaws
I do like Dumbo
I only fly

A king elephant is sometimes wrong
And dances as badly as you and me
As an elephant, I'm not mistaken
When I tell myself that we need to love ourselves

The loudest birds, the most "hello, I'm here"
Are not the most loving, well, it depends, I guess
The place that we take, never really says
If we are happy with what we become

I do like Dumbo
I only fly
Above my flaws
I do like Dumbo
I only fly, oh

A king elephant is sometimes wrong
And dances as badly as you and me
As an elephant, I'm not mistaken
When I tell myself that we need to love ourselves
Oh, ourselves, hmm, oh

What do men who don't love themselves like?
I often wondered
What do men who don't love themselves like?
Me, I fly away, I go, oh

I do like Dumbo
I only fly
Above my flaws
I do like Dumbo
I only fly, oh

A king elephant is sometimes wrong
And dances as badly as you and me
As an elephant, I'm not mistaken
When I tell myself that we need to love ourselves

A king elephant is sometimes wrong
And dances as badly as you and me
As an elephant, I'm not mistaken
When I tell myself that we need to love ourselves

(I do like Dumbo
I only fly
Above my flaws, oh
I do like Dumbo
I only fly, oh)

(I do like Dumbo
I only fly
Above my flaws, oh
I do like Dumbo
I only fly, ooh ooh ooh)
