Shine bright
In this little town it's not celebrated
but being different is the best thing you can be.
If you'd go to this school you'd see a bunch of the same.
Who wants to be a clone?
I was bullied for being different here
and I used to be ashamed.
I hide from everyone.
I was in a dark place.
At least I tried until I noticed
that different people shine.
Different stands out.
Different gets noticed.
I stood out for being gay.
I was noticed because I was proud.
I was different for being the only one.
I stand out.
I get noticed.
But now I shine brighter than ever.
If you're different you may go through stuggle
but you always make it out shinning.
