I came here feeling scared and alone
Knowing that I am far from my true home
The sensation was intense when I breathed for the first time.
So I gave my first smile and swore I’d do my best

I live in this world, but I’m not like you.
I find quite a challenge, the things I do
An alert part of me always knows
that you are uncomfortable with me it shows

But I’m like you as a spirit inside
It is where my true self resides.
This body, this mind are tools to use
Please look at me this way and do not inflict abuse.

‘Cause I hurt like you, I really do
We are all different and unique, they are all gifts for others to see.
So throw away the judgments and watch me for me
An invitation of compassion, of love, is open to you.

So let the light inside of me shine
So pure, so rare, so divine
And I’ll show you something worthwhile
An innocence, a blessing, an inner child

I can help you grow, I can teach you a lot
All I want is a life to touch
A chance to open a door for you
To help you see beyond the challenges I have to overcome

I am not them, I am much more
Please take a chance and walk through the door.
With me as your friend until we finish
Because in truth, as a spirit we are one
