Lyrics / Give "Different" A Chance

Backed into a corner and there’s no walls around me
I’m gasping for breath with no water to drown me
I’m stuck and there’s nothing keeping me there
I’m lost in this nowhere and you don’t seem to care
You laugh when you walk by, you run when you cry
You turn when you pass me, I don’t want to know why
Am I really that different?  Am I really that strange?
If you start to dissect things, we all are the same        
We fight over nothing and we call them debates
We should celebrate differences, not turn it to hate
Politics, religion, the color of skin
All start in the same place but nobody can win
This isn’t a race, there’s no competition                                
Nobody can finish if we don’t start to run
Have we made any progress?  Have we gone anywhere?
We collect all our hate and pass it on to our heirs
We tell our life story with a modified message
To make ourselves look good and point out who the “best” is
Stand up for what’s right and please plant your feet firm
Don’t be afraid to speak out, we’re not taking no turns
We’re no longer children.  Were you brought up right?        
We can’t even share without starting a fight                
It only takes one to make a great change
But if no one’s behind them, you call them insane
We could be so much further; a lot more advanced
If we all worked together and gave “different” a chance
What fun would this life be if we had all came out clones?
There’s difference between ignoring and leaving “different” alone
I don’t seek out “normal” What’s normal to you?
That’s based on opinion and what you’re use to
If you weren’t really listening; just into the beat
Find out what you’re missing and put this on repeat                        
If you heard every word and find you agree
It’s not that absurd; you’re as “crazy” as me

The title is intriguing.

If you’re looking for grammatical corrections, “there’s” should be “there are”

It’s good in that most people could relate to it in some way.
I love the fact that you sort of called an action.
I think the world needs more songs like this and people like you.

well, im as ‘crazy’ as you. i liked it. i like the concept/idea behind thel yrics and the message is good. some things to comment on:

in the first 2 verses you rhymed ‘me’ with ‘me’ and it sounds weird and awkward

You laugh when you walk by, you run when you cry < love this line
You turn when you pass me, I don’t want to know why < it feels like you have an extra sylable here

If you start to dissect things, we all are the same < love this line

We fight over nothing and we call them debates
We should celebrate differences, not turn it to hate < extra sylable you should make it celebrate ‘difference’ without the ‘S’ it sounds better

Politics, religion, the color of skin
All start in the same place but nobody can win < it would be better if it was:
‘but no one can win’

This isn’t a race, there’s no competition                                
Nobody can finish if we don’t start to run

We could be so much further; a lot more advanced
If we all worked together and gave “different” a chance
^ great line

overall i liked it but it could be much better keep working

I really agree with the opinion in this piece. I think it flows nicely though I’m not sure if you might want to include some sort of repeating chorus or if you like it more without one. I’d have to HEAR it as a song first to really know if it needed one. Good piece.
