You’re on the outskirts

Unsure of your place

And it seems as though there’s a wall

Impossible to break down

Cutting you off completely

We’re inside and we have no worries

Only caring about us

Thinking about how great it is to be us

You’re not even an afterthought

You’re just invisible

You see that you could never be like them

They’ll never let you

You can’t come close enough to even try

These walls they’ve built are in place for you

For people like you who dare to try

Who dare to break them down

You’re different and you thought it was okay

Differences are good, right?

But not this time

In this place, differences make you weak

You’re less than them

We’ll tell you that you don’t belong

You aren’t like us

Even if one of us thinks you’re cool,

They wouldn’t dare speak to it

That’s just not how it works here

So you go and drift along

A stranger to yourself

Alone and waiting for something to hold on to

Anything that will hold you down

Something that will love you

And that one friendly face

Who didn’t care about the whispers

Who dared to defy

Who took a step towards you

Lighting up your entire body

There was another big wall

But this one wasn’t complete

It had a bridge

And there was sunlight across the way

They welcomed you with a heart so big

We’ll wonder how you got in

The system must be broken, right?

How could you ever be here

Who told you that you belong here

It certainly wasn’t us

You’ll think how lucky you are

And you’ll thank that friendly face

You’ll tell them that they saved you

They’ll be confused

How could they have saved you?

Cause for them, building bridges is just natural
