Lyrics[]

You are special, you're the only one
You're the only one like you
There isn't another in the whole wide world
Who can do the things you do

'Cause you are special, special
Everyone is special
Everyone in his or her own way
Oh, you are special, special
Everyone is special
Everyone in his or her own way

You're important, oh, you really are
You're the only one like you
The world is better, just because you're here
You should know that we/I love you

'Cause you are special, special
Everyone is special
Everyone in his or her own way
Oh, you are special, special
Everyone is special
Everyone in his or her own way (Everyone?)

Everyone in his or her own way

Trivia[]

In the last line of the chorus, each character uses their own pose, which is unique to them and worked into the choreography of the song, as in the above picture. These poses generally do not change over time, with a few exceptions.
When this song was first sung in Barney in Concert, the lyrics were "because you're special" in the first verse, but in season one of Barney & Friends and "A Very Special Delivery!", and the 1996 re-release of Barney in Concert, they were sung as "oh you are special" in the first and second verse. The current lyrics were first used in the episode "Picture This!"
Season eight is the only season of Barney & Friends where this song is not performed. However, it was used as an underscore in some episodes.
In Barney Live! In New York City, this song replaced I Love You as the final song due to the 1994 lawsuit and the chorus part was sung three times before the coda part.
