Is it about the colour of my body?
Is it about the accent when I speak?
Is it because your god is not my God?
Is it because I called the weather bleak?
I try to find a reason,
So I don’t hate myself
I’m sorry I am different
I promise I will change
I’m sorry I am different
Please don’t find me strange
Is it about my birthplace or my story?
Is it about my fearless open mind?
Is it because you see yourself in my eyes?
Is it because my shame, you cannot find?
I try to find a reason,
So you don’t hate yourself
I’m proud, I am different
I will never change
I’m proud, I am different
I love that I am strange
People of the universe
You’re beautiful throughout
Tell your stories to the world
What we’re all about
I’m proud, I am different
I will never change
I’m proud, I am different
I love that I am strange
