about

"When others look at you like some kind of oddity, sometimes you just have to believe in yourself before anyone else can."

This was what I put in the description of the original recording of this song, and it still represents exactly what I wanted this song to say today.

lyrics

-------------LYRICS---------------

Another delivery, another route
Another part of my life I can't live without
Each day comes, I keep chugging along
Singing that same old silly song
The cards you're dealt are on the table
It's time to play the hand
No matter if you think they're able
Some won't understand, so I say

It's not fun to copy paste things
Deeper in that rut you can sink
So I don't care what they might say
'Cause I am myself in my own way
No telling what tomorrow brings
Someone else might stop and think
But a city isn't built in one day
So I am myself in my own way

Imagination floats through the sky
I watch it go as it waves goodbye
Hopefully longer it will stay
As soon as everything's A-OK
The moving finger writes
The curtain has been drawn
But now I know much better than to
Just continue on, and so I say

It's not fun to copy paste things
Deeper in that rut you can sink
So I don't care what they might say
'Cause I am myself in my own way
No telling what tomorrow brings
Someone else might stop and think
But a city isn't built in one day
So I am myself in my own way

The time has come to mend society
To set the quiet and the awkward free
To stand up tall and strong for the world to see
Because I am proud of who I've come to be (repeat x2)

It's not fun to copy paste things
Deeper in that rut you can sink
So I don't care what they might say
'Cause I am myself in my own way
No telling what tomorrow brings
Someone else might stop and think
But a city isn't built in one day
So I am myself in my own way
(repeat x2)

Another delivery, another route
Another part of my life I can't live without
Each day comes I keep chugging along
Singing that same old silly song
