Don't Laugh at Me

In God's eyes we're all the same

Don't get your pleasure from my pain
Don't laugh at me, don't call me names
In God's eyes we're all the same
And I wouldn't be out here beggin' if I had enough to eat

I lost my wife and little boy when someone crossed that yellow line
I'm fat, I'm thin, I'm short, I'm tall
A single teenage mother tryin' to overcome my past
Don't laugh at me
In God's eyes we're all the same
Don't get your pleasure from my pain

I'm deaf, I'm blind, hey, aren't we all?
Don't laugh at me, don't call me names
Don't laugh at me, don't call me names
And right now I'm down to holdin' this little cardboard sign, so

And don't think I don't notice that our eyes never meet
I'm that kid on every playground who's always chosen last
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me

And I know how it feels to cry myself to sleep

The day we laid them in the ground is the day I lost my mind
I'm the cripple on the corner, you've passed me on the street
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
You don't have to be my friend, but is it too much to ask?
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
