THE FREAK PARADE

THE FREAK PARADE

I know you’re finding life to be unkind,

Always the one forgotten and left behind,

I empathize with what you’re going through,

I’ve been there too.

They mock us and call us names,

“Freak”, “Weirdo”, “Odd One”, they’re all the same,

All because we march to the beat of another drum,

They chastise us for our differences and then some,

I know you feel alone in this world of disarray,

I too feel the exact same way,

Tonight my fellow lonesome friend, I reach out my hand,

Together in unison we can make a stand,

Gather up all you freaks the good Lord has made,

Tonight we’ll dance the streets in the freaks’ parade,

Let the “normal” souls see this show,

The power of our solidarity will let them know,

That although their words hurt, we will not let them bring us down,

For those who think they are perfect play the part of the clown,

So as we march on in our freak parade, let them see,

That they’re merely ignorant fools to you and me.
