The Right To Be

Looking at the people around me
Trying to recognize anything at all
Everything so big and strange
And I feel unwelcome and small

Looking in a mirror
I'm trying to see
The person I really am
What is it that I'm calling "me"

Looking at your face and smile
Listening to your kind words
I feel so comfortable in your arms
But deep inside it hurts

Out of our special world
I feel so cold
Longing for your warmth and touch
I need to be hold

Looking again at their shouting faces
Feeling the needles of their hurting sound
Trying to be strong and not to show my pain
But I'm wondering what it is in me that doesn't count

I try the mirror again
And watch my eyes, filled with tears
I hear my heartbeat, faster and faster
Growing like my fears

In the mirror I can see your face
You tell me I'm alright
I'm not worthless but welcome in this world
I'm no longer alone, together we'll fight

You give me strength
You give me faith and I believe
Still I long to hide away from that world
Crawling in your arms is a relief

I take one last look at their faces
And I realise something good
Why I am bothered or sad?
I don't have to be like they think I should

You show me the mirror
I see my reflection and smile
It's good to be me, good to be myself
And that thought makes me happy for a while

I look at your face
And I spreak the words to thank you
You are my hope and light
Without you I don't know what to do

Whenever things are going down again
I know you'll always be there for me
To show me and the world
That everybody has the right to be
