Proud to be Different
You think I'm weird
Because my ideas aren't the same as yours
You think I'm strange
Because I shut and lock my "doors"
You say my thoughts are wrong
And you call me a geek
You criticize my music
And say I'm a freak
You've never given me a chance
All you can do is hold a grudge
But before you say anything else
Think about why you judge
Listen to what I have to say
With an open mind and open heart
Then decide whether or not
You still want to rip my ideas apart
Pay attention to my favorite music
Because you might be surprised to see
That maybe, just maybe
You really are just like me
So, before you judge me again
And decide to call me a freak
Remember, my strange ideas
Are what make me special and unique
