John wiped away the steamy mirror "Oh thanks god".. and proceeded to get ready For the taunts he would face alone
Meet John Merrick He toyed with elephants that consumed his Whole body with imperfections Feared by the school queens He kept his head down, Ran through the crowds of laughter, Embarrassed And he screamed, Stop Teasing Me
His dream was to be held by another. "you're too ugly to hold, to ugly to love" He held the up most beauty in his heart, He got swept up beneath the city
John left the town, in search of elephants that stomped his body , That left him with a life of humiliations, They were nowhere to be found Last night he looked deep inside, and found Out the answers to why
His tears caused the flood in which he sailed down for years, He found a piece of land Where he was sure to live alone, But he met many more like himself that sailed Down the very same flood
John still dreamt of the life he wanted, Over and over again.
