Island of the Misfit Toys
KJ-52 Lyrics

Welcome to the island of the misfit toys
Greetings to the community of people who don't quite fit in

Land of the broken girls and boys
A place where those who feel shattered come together

I'm Sitting in detention feeling like the breakfast club
I'm stuck in detention, lost in my thoughts like in the movie 'The Breakfast Club'

Staring at my desk wishing that i had a hug
I feel alone and wish for some comfort

I wouldnt pay attention but what I'd pay for love
I struggle to focus, but I am willing to do anything for love

When your searching for some hope man that junks a drug
In the search for hope, sometimes it can be addictive like a drug

Awkward introvert really had nowhere to turn
As a shy introvert, I have no one to turn to

Crumbling insecure Struggling with the hurt
I am crumbling with insecurity and struggling with the pain

Stomach all up in a churn rumbling up in my shirt
My stomach is upset and I feel anxious

Wishing that i had a girl but all ever get is burned
I long for a girlfriend but always end up hurt

They say nerds gotta wait they turn
Society tells me that I have to wait my turn as a nerd

Im heartsick while I'm living in a dream deferred
I am heartbroken because my dreams have been delayed

My heart gripped in pain mouth full of curse words
My heart is in pain and I want to curse out of frustration

I can't get away until i read the first verse
I can't escape my pain until I read the first verse of the Bible

Of your word then I learned of my birth curse
Through the Bible, I discovered the curse of sin from birth

And that you died for me and all my net worth
I learned that Jesus died for me, despite all my shortcomings

I realized my need just to make a second birth
I understood the importance of being born again in Christ

I bowed my knee and said take away the hurt
I prayed and asked God to relieve my pain

This is for the misfits rejects losers defects
The song is an anthem for all those who feel like outcasts

Weirdos awkward broke down strange kids
Those who feel like they don't fit in because of their quirks and struggles

Don't you forget you are love you are loved your are loved
Remember that you are loved and valued, despite feeling rejected

This is for the black kids white kids wrong kids right kids
The message of the song is for everyone, regardless of race or background

All kids I write this that
The song is written for all young people to hear

I know I got a bad reputation
I am aware of the negative image people have of me

Walk around always mad reputation
I have a reputation for being angry all the time

Make a pretty girl sad reputation
I have been known to hurt girls emotionally

Probably should be dead reputation
I have done things that could have gotten me killed

But life moves fast and if you blink you gone miss it
Life goes by quickly, and if you're not careful, you'll miss out on it

Miss the pain in the voice if you don't listen
If you don't listen carefully, you'll miss someone's pain

Sitting by myself at the lunch table wishing
I am alone and wish for friendship

That I had some real friend but I knew that I didn't
I hope for a true friend, but I know I don't have one

I try to do my best I don't fit in
I give my best effort but still feel like I don't belong

I realize now I'm a misfit
I understand that I am different from others

But what would you do in my position
Put yourself in my shoes and consider what you would do

When it all falls down and you're the one that its hitting
When everything goes wrong, and you're the one that bears the brunt of it

From a place so vulnerable where I'm coming from
The lyrics come from a vulnerable place in my heart

About to break down I'm feelling so overdone
I am close to falling apart and feeling overwhelmed

Lost my young boy but joy showed up in the morning
Despite my pain, I found joy to help me through the morning

And all of a sudden my burdens weren't important
My problems became less important when I felt joy

Got to live life fly high where the eagles are
I choose to live my life boldly and rise above my struggles

And me in out here pointing where the steeples are
I want to show others where hope can be found

You been overlooked wishing they would notice you
You feel unnoticed and wish for someone's attention

Doing everything in your power to get a hold of you
You're trying your best to grab onto something or someone for support

Rejected by the world accepted by the Lord putting numbers on the board
Though the world may reject you, God accepts and values you, and your value is not determined by worldly standards

And we're misfits till it's finished and I love you and I hope you get to hear this
We may always be a little different, but I love you and hope you hear this song

This is for the cutters goofballs runaways lonely
The song is for those who are in pain and struggle in life

Miserable bullied kids feeling like the old me
The song empathizes with those who feel like they are being mistreated and can relate to how I once felt

Don't you forget you are love you are loved your are loved
Remember that despite feeling unwanted, you are loved and valued

This is for the dreamers lovers thugs block huggers
The song is for all kinds of people with different aspirations and backgrounds

Killers stuck up in the prisons listen
Even those in prison are not forgotten and deserve to hear this message

Don't your forget your are loved your are loved your are loved
I want to remind you again that you are loved and valuable
