When I was smaller and people were taller
I realized that I was different
I had a power that set me apart
I learned to take it and used it to make it
It's not so bad to be different
To do your own thing and do it with heart

Different is hard
Different is lonely
Different is trouble for you only
Different is heartache
Different is pain
But I'd rather be different than be the same

At first I wondered what hex I was under
What did I do to be so different
Then I discovered some others like me
Wonder no longer Together we're stronger
It's not so bad to be different
Be true to yourself
That's what you must be

Different is hard
Different is lonely
Different is trouble for you only
Different is heartache
Different is pain
But I'd rather be different than be the same

Different is hard
Different is lonely
Different is trouble for you only
Different is heartache
Different is pain
But I'd rather be different than be the same
