Been listening to a lot of Otis Redding lately - inspired the sound at least. Not that I can sing like him!
lyrics
It ain’t always easy being different
Especially if you don’t know, no damn difference
They can’t say your name skins not the same
There but a million miles away
Not always easy being different
Then you finally do,
find a big world that’s larger than you
Learn who you are, better by far
Start to see light shining through
It ain’t always easy being different
Especially when they attack where you’re livin
Minds are too small see nothing at all
Seem to forget what it’s all built on
Not always easy being different
Then you start to break through
A small act of kindness welcoming you
Cracks in the hate won’t hesitate
Feel the sunshine coming through
