Waiting For a Change

Why do I get burned?
It’s the lesson I frequently try to learn 
No matter what I breathe in and forgive
I only have 1 life to live
One chance to make a Change 
And waiting for it 

Why cant I fit in?
I am all I’ve ever been 
I’m different that makes a threat
Being different makes them break their sweat
So mean that its wrong
But every one stay strong
Some day its going to change
But for now we’re waiting for it 

Why do I care so much?
Because your not like other people and such
You’re a caring person
Remember this
Times get rough
But know when to say enough
And then know it will change 
But until then we’ll wait for it 

Why do you hate me so?
I cant believe you stooped so low
But I will come up laughing 
Just by looking at the surroundings 
Having fun while you wait for me to get sad
I’m not going to so sorry so bad
I’m not going to change
So you can sit there and wait 

Why cant we all get along?
All we need is a song
We could live in peace if we didn’t need drama 
Dealing with that makes me want to go into a comma 
Just waiting for it to change I will sit 
And just wait 

What will happen when I die?
You will fall in to the sky and fly 
Feel the wind flow past you 
Washing away all of your fear
And erasing every tear 
Knowing there would be no more hating 
And knowing that there would be no more waiting 
 
You would finally find your change
