I'm a little boy with glasses, the one they call the geek A little girl who never smiles 'Cause I have got braces on my teeth And I know how it feels to cry myself to sleep
I'm that kid on every playground who's always chosen last A single teenage mother tryin' to overcome my past You don't have to be my friend but is it too much to ask?

Don't laugh at me, don't call me names Don't get your pleasure from my pain In God's eyes we're all the same Someday we'll all have perfect wings, don't laugh at me
My country, 'tis of thee, oh, sweet land of liberty It is of thee, that I sing
