A single teenage mother tryin' to overcome my past
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
I'm deaf, I'm blind, hey, aren't we all?
I'm that kid on every playground who's always chosen last
The day we laid them in the ground is the day I lost my mind
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
And I wouldn't be out here beggin' if I had enough to eat
Don't laugh at me, don't call me names
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
And I know how it feels to cry myself to sleep
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
I'm the cripple on the corner, you've passed me on the street
In God's eyes we're all the same
And right now I'm down to holdin' this little cardboard sign, so
Don't laugh at me
Don't laugh at me, don't call me names
I'm fat, I'm thin, I'm short, I'm tall
And don't think I don't notice that our eyes never meet
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me
Don't laugh at me, don't call me names
In God's eyes we're all the same
You don't have to be my friend, but is it too much to ask?
I lost my wife and little boy when someone crossed that yellow line
In God's eyes we're all the same
