I’m the little boy with glasses,The one they call the geek.
A little girls who never smiles‘cause I’ve got braces on my teeth.And I know how it feels to cry myself to sleep.
THINKIs it safe?Is it fair?
I’m that kid on every playgroundWho’s always chosen Last.
I’m the one who is a little slower, than all those in my class.You don’t have to be my friendBut is it too much to ask?

How do.. I feel? They feel?
I’m the beggar on the corner.You’ve passed me on the street.I wouldn’t be out here beggin’If I had enough to eat.
Don’t think I don’t notice That our eyes never meet.
I was born a little different.I do my dreaming from this chair.
I pretend it doesn’t hurt meWhen people point and
stare.There’s a simple way to
show meJust how much you care.
