Don't Laugh At Me

the one they call the geek
I'm the little girl who never smiles
cuz I've got braces on my teeth
and I know how it feels to cry myself to sleep
I'm that kid on every playground
who's always chosen last
a single teenage mother
trying to overcome my past
you don't have to be my friend
but is it too much to ask
don't laugh at me
don't call me names
don't get your pleasure from my pain
in god's eyes we're all the same
someday we'll all have perfect wings
don't laugh at me...
I'm the cripple on the corner
you pass me on the street
I wouldn't be out here begging
if I had enough to eat
and don't think I don't notice
that our eyes never meet
I lost my wife and little boy
someone crossed that yellow line
the day we laid them in the ground
is the day I lost my mind
right now I'm down to holding
this little cardboard sign...
don't laugh at me
don't call me names
don't get your pleasure from my pain
in god's eyes we're all the same
someday we'll all have perfect wings
don't laugh at me
I'm fat, I'm thin
I'm short, I'm tall
I'm deaf, I'm blind
hey aren't we all
don't pity me
don't worry none
I'm doing what I do to live
and my life is far from done
someday I'll have some more to give
I hope you see
a heart still beats
a heart still feels
whatever I do
it's not me who steals
not a sin, not a crime
just a thread, just a line
not evil, not a clown
just alone, just down
I don't lie, I don't cheat
I don't cause any harm
I don't want to be weak
just today I'm not strong
it's not really cause for any alarm...
don't pity me
don't worry none
just be a friend or pass on by
I've just got things still left undone
someday all the pieces will fit
I hope you see
