I've never felt so out of place Didn't think I'd only be another face To be placed under societys mandate Of what perfection is supposed to be To be, to be how your supposed to be seen As being perfect an benevolent Place the emphasis on eloquence But the evidence goes forth to suggest That we're supposed to be invincible, Like bullet proof vests But even those vests tire of bowing to the standard Of Americas "best" But being the best is irrelevant Forget what society says and follow your dreams I know that your bursting at the seams With dreams of movie stars and shining seas And all of that could be yours if you try If you muscle through the wear, tear, and salty eyes And standing there with arms open wide To welcome you, though they're not supposed to These were the ones who made their own path And forged their own destiny so before you give up, give it another try Before you say, "The world has got the best of me"
