Different
Fay Wildhagen Lyrics

We cannot flee the sun
There are some things in life which we cannot escape from, no matter how much we try.

I tried forever
I tried for a long time, but unfortunately, it was in vain.

But there′s nowhere to run
Despite all of our efforts, there is no escape from certain things.

Study to cover up
We may try to hide our differences by pretending to be like others around us.

Live as another
We may attempt to live our lives like someone else, rather than embracing our true selves.

And try not to be stuck
We hope to avoid feeling trapped or confined by our differences.

So don't you hide away
Don't be afraid to show who you really are.

Live in the shadows of an early escape
Don't live in fear of someone finding out who you really are and trying to escape from their judgement or criticism.

Don′t you know the feeling when it feels so right?
Have you ever experienced that feeling when something just clicks, and it's perfect?

Don't you know the feeling that you just can't fight?
Sometimes, we know that we shouldn't feel a certain way, but we just can't help it.

I can′t beat the feeling of this blooming pride
I am overwhelmed with happiness, and it fills me with confidence.

When I′m next to you
Being near you makes me feel this way.

Running from believing, no we just can′t hide
Even if we try to deny who we really are, it won't change the fact that we are different.

There's a beauty being different, just a different kind
Being different is not something to be ashamed of, it is something unique and special.

I′ll be next to you
I will stand by your side and embrace our differences together.

We are way different
We may not fit in with others around us, but that's what makes us unique and special.

I tried to be the same
I attempted to be like everyone else, but it didn't feel right.

Strive to become and have a place in the game
I wanted to fit in with my peers and be part of the crowd.

But I've been asleep too long
I've spent too much time living someone else's life and ignoring my own identity.

My heart missed the beat to my favorite songs
My passions and interests have gone unnoticed while trying to fit in with what everyone else likes.

And I watch the days slip away
Time continues to move forward, and I don't want to waste any more time trying to be someone I'm not.

Like sand through my fingers but how long do I wait?
Time is slipping away, and I'm not sure how much longer I can wait to live my own life.

And we′re still moving on
Despite the challenges we may face because of our differences, we are still progressing forward.

When there's no place to be, nowhere to belong
It may feel like we don't belong anywhere because of our differences, but we will continue to move forward and find our place.

And I′ll find my way
I will discover who I am and where I belong in this world.

And I'm not afraid
I am not afraid of embracing my true self and being different.

And I don't care what they say
I won't let others bring me down or influence me to be someone I'm not.

And I′ll never walk away
I will always stand up for who I am and what I believe in, even if it's not popular.

′Cause we'll find our way
We will discover where we belong and what our purpose is, together.

Don′t you be afraid
Don't be afraid to be different or embrace your true self.

'Cause we don′t care what they say
We won't let others bring us down or make us feel inferior because of our differences.

And I will never let you walk away
I will always be there for you, and we will face the challenges of being different together.
