When I was smaller and people were taller
I realized that I was different
I had a power that set me apart
I learned to take it, to use it, to make it
It's not so bad to be different
To do your own thing and do it with heart
Different is hard, different is lonely
Different is trouble for you only
Different is heartache, different is pain
But I'd rather be different than be the same
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh)
At first I wonder what hex I was under
What did I do to be so different?
Then I discovered some others like me
Wonder no longer, together we're stronger
It's not so bad to be different
Be true to yourself
That's what you must be
Different is hard, different is lonely
Different is trouble for you only
Different is heartache, different is pain
But I'd rather be different than be the same
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh)
Different is hard, different is lonely
Different is trouble for you only
Different is heartache, different is pain
But I'd rather be different than be the same
Different is hard, different is lonely (lonely)
Different is trouble for you only (trouble for you only)
Different is heartache, different is pain (different is pain)
But I'd rather be different than be the same
