I’m the little boy with glasses,The one they call the geek.

A little girls who never smiles‘cause I’ve got braces on my teeth.And I know how it feels to cry myself to sleep.

THINKIs it safe?Is it fair?

I’m that kid on every playgroundWho’s always chosen Last.

I’m the one who is a little slower, than all those in my class.You don’t have to be my friendBut is it too much to ask?

THINKIs it safe?Is it fair?FEEL

How do.. I feel? They feel?

I’m the beggar on the corner.You’ve passed me on the street.I wouldn’t be out here beggin’If I had enough to eat.

Don’t think I don’t notice That our eyes never meet.

I was born a little different.I do my dreaming from this chair.

I pretend it doesn’t hurt meWhen people point and

stare.There’s a simple way to

show meJust how much you care.

THINKIs it safe?Is it fair?

Don’t laugh at me.Don’t call me names.Don’t get your pleasure from my painIn God’s eyes we are all the same.

THINKIs it safe?Is it fair?

FEELHow do..

I feel? They feel?

DOMake good choices!
