Different--Repost For Dg
We look for acceptance in the things we do
We are all different in the way we perceive
I am who I am and so are you
We can live together if we believe
See that kid with the purple hair
He sure is different, can't you tell
If we can't accept him and show we care
Then we are the one's who should rot in hell
See that girl, she's only fourteen
Pregnant already, for goodness sake
If we don't love her and we treat her mean
We will lie in the bed we make
See that girl with the dragon tattoo
She sure s different, isn't she
When she gets put down, she feels blue
So I guess she's a lot like you and me
Children all should know their worth
They should all have their own dream
Each one is different from the day of birth
Each will struggle with their self-esteem
Too many times we look but do not see
We instill a sense of fear
They are different than we would have them be
So we listen but we do not hear.
A time for change!!!
