Exactly How Would You

Exactly how would you do it
Build a brand new life
Would you make all new friends
Would it be a sacrifice

If we assume a just world
Where we can blend how we'd like
Would people accept us
Without much of a fight

What's the meaning of friendship
Conformity or happiness
Conforming makes you popular, but
I'd rather be happy, none the less

If we'd rather be different
Then fit right on in with everyone
Would we get mocked
And be left with no one

What makes someone special
Isn't the straightness of their hair
It's the friends that they make
That they can show that they care

Each and every person
On this great place called earth
Has a special talent
That we might have had since birth

We could be good at basketball
But not everybody is
We could be good at spelling
The word ventriloquist

 So the next time that you doubt yourself
Take a step out to refresh all
The things that make you great
Because you are someone special
