Born to be Bright Lyrics by Pepper Coyote

Songs to Pay for My Pool

2025

[Verse 1]
\nI was born into a good life, a house on a hill
\nParents who believed in me, and they always will
\nTaught to dream big, to reach for the sky
\nThey saw a future in my wide-open eyes
\n
\nThey said "You're gonna change the world, kid, you wait and see
\nA doctor a leader, a shining marquee."
\nI aced every test, walked the stage with a grin
\nA degree in my hand, ready to begin
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nBut I traded bright lights for paws and tails
\nFound my own pack in the offbeat trails
\nNot a doctor or lawyer, no high-paying role
\nJust chasing a dream that’s feeding my soul
\nI was born to be bright, but I'm a furry instead
\nBuilding my life with new dreams in my head
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nI walked the straight path, but it felt too tight
\nThe cubicles and suits just didn't feel right
\nI found color in the chaos, art in the wild
\nA long tail, wolf’s howl, a dragon's smile
\n
\nThey said, "Where's that bright kid we always knew?
\nThe one with big plans, that's not you."
\nBut I'm still here, just chasing the call
\nWearing at fur at conventions, standing tall
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nCause I traded bright lights for paws and tails
\nFound my own pack in the offbeat trails
\nNot a doctor or lawyer, no high-paying role
\nJust chasing a dream that's feeding my soul
\nI was born to be bright, but I'm a furry instead
\nBuilding my life with new dreams in my head
\n
\n[Bridge]
\nYeah, I know it looks crazy, I know it seems wrong
\nBut I've found my people, where I belong
\nI’ve spent my last dime on a suit they despise
\nBut I’ve never felt more alive
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nI traded bright lights for paws and tails
\nFound my own pack in the offbeat trails
\nNot a doctor or lawyer, no high-paying role
\nJust chasing a dream that's feeding my soul
\nI was born to be bright, but I’m a furry instead
\nBuilding my life with new dreams in my head
\n
\n[Outro]
\nI still hear their voices, I still see their pride
\nBut my heart beats louder on this wild ride
\nBorn to be bright, but I chose to be free
\nIn this world I've built - it's enough for me\n\n
