Raise Your Hand

Raise your hand if you've ever been laughed at...
ever been stared at (maybe not you?)
Just- nod your head if you like who you are...
and don't care what these other folks say about you
Raise your hand if you've ever been ridiculed...
called an "original" (nah, maybe not you)
Just- nod your head if you're an individual...
and don't care what these other folks say about you
