Did you know that I am a freak of nature
Clumsy and misshapen
An object of pity
If not derision
Walled in by years of rejection
Afraid to stand in the sun
And risk getting burnt
Once again

But when the music plays
My soul soars
And I dance
With the grace
That is denied me in body
For the briefest of moments
My spirit is free
And I can fly
Over the walls
And into the heavens
Until the last note ends

Did you know that I love you
Even though I can't say the words
Because I know it's not
The right thing to do
Because I am not the person
You deserve to be happy with forever
And I'm afraid to lose
What few days I have left
Enjoying your company
And the joy you bring
To my pathetic life

Because when I'm with you
My soul soars
And I can pretend
That just once in my life
I'm not a freak
And for the briefest of moments
I'm free to be happy
To break through the walls
Escape my self-imposed cage
And fly into the heavens
And dance
Until the last note ends
