Outside

Outside

In society you'll always be an outsider
Whether it's your race, intelligence, status, or wealth class
You'll always be an outsider

People don't understand different
Different skin tones, likes and dislikes, attitudes and attributes
In our society different is bad

Is different really bad?
Difference is what causes change for better
And sometimes for worse
But it keeps things moving

Who wants to always stay the same?
Change causes innovation, failure and success
It's not bad to be different
It's not bad to be an outsider
