Different

Honk
Honk

If they knew, just how dearly I would love to honk
But it's true, I'm a bird who seems to lack the knack

I'm just different
I'm just different from the rest
And who can blame them wanting me to find another nest
But different isn't naughty
Different isn't bad
So why should being different make me sad?

I'm just different, they're like peas from the same pod
No wonder they make fun of me, life's harder when you're odd
But different isn't scary
Different is no threat
And though, I'm still their brother
They forget

I didn't choose to look this way
I didn't want to be unique
I don't like these grubby feathers, and I hate my stubby beak
There's a runt in every litter
One black sheep in every flock
But when you know it's you somehow
Your ego takes a knock

I'm just different
But I have a sense of pride
My looks may well be funny
But I hurt the same inside
Different isn't spiteful
Different isn't wrong
So why is it so hard to get along?
I only want to get along

Different isn't hateful
Different could be swell
Different is just-
Well, different
