Norm

outside the norm
but an inside part
over their lines
but inside my heart

not going to let others
decide what's right for me
the books and tapes
discussing thoughts and feelings

gonna live outside the rules
of typical behavior
an aggregate response
a taste I'm gonna savor

outside the norm
but an inside part
crossing over their lines
but listening to my heart
