I'm not the guy with the cool hair and style
I'm not the guy with unmatched strength

I'm not the guy with Einstein's brain
nor the one that stole his voice from an angel

Sometimes life doesn't work that way

when I was younger, I always thought I'd be someone special
I'd find the cure for cancer, or bring peace to this broken world
I'd save someone's life as a hero, or bring evil to its knees
Maybe write the words to a NY Times Bestseller,
or make that giant leap for mankind

But Sometimes life doesn't work that way

The more this world impresses it's death-grip over my life,
the better I understand why it is the way it is
I'm not special, I've come to terms with that
I'll be the same as everyone around me
Completing no more than the guy in the next cubicle

But Sometimes life doesn't work that way

What if my normalcy, is why God's light shines so brightly
My blankness, becoming a reflection of His Kingdom
It's not about my fame and glory
but, like a star, creating beauty in unity
Talent has nothing to do with the kind of person you can be
