I just think it’s wrong
And my conviction is very strong
But you might disagree
You have that right ya see
But it’s also a fact
I don’t need to be attacked
Unnecessarily
See - I’m just being me

If I say it’s not the norm
And that I believe it’s wrong
Even if you can't go along
I hope it doesn’t create a storm

Everyone you’ll find
Is not of the same mind
We see things differently
That’s part of being free
To say what’s on your mind
Not to be unkind
But to share a point of view
That might differ from you

If I say it’s not the norm
And that I believe it’s wrong
Even if you can't go along
I hope it doesn’t create a storm

One size don’t fit all
It’s an individual call
And I’m trying to keep it real
By stating how I feel
As you rightly might suspect
It may not be politically correct
But at the end of this lesson
Hopefully I’ve answered the question

I’m not in that amen chorus
Among those who only bore us
I don’t endorse any agenda
That suggests I must surrender
To a set of dogmatic beliefs
That never desist or decease
What I hold inside is strong
Which don’t make me right or wrong

If I say it’s not the norm
And that I believe it’s wrong
Even if you can't go along
I hope it doesn’t create a storm
