Aren't We All

Hey
I see you lookin at me
What’s the matter
Do I look strange to you
Because
My hair is in dreds
Because my skin is black
Hey
Is there something wrong with me
Because I’m different from the image you see
Hey
You walked right past me
Am I invisible
Because I push a grocery cart
Because I live in this doorway
hey
Because I represent something you don’t know
Can’t you even smile and say hello
Hey
Look at me
No not at my breasts
Just because I dress this way
That doesn' t make me bad
Don't just shrug me away
I'm someone's daughter too
Hey
Down here, I’m the little girl
No I’m not young just small, I was born this way
Why does everyone look right over my head
Can’t anyone see me
Hey
I’m a midget not a leper, it really isn’t catching
And for a person of 3 feet, I’m really kinda fetching
Hey
Don’t be scared
Because it’s a little different
She said
It really isn’t catching
But maybe it should be
Cause
Aren’t we all
Just a little different
And hey
Isn’t that what it’s all about

We're all different in a way; but that does not mean that we are more or less in value than one another.

Great work once again, Sue!!!!!

Whatever else you might be... you are definitely the real deal. I'm fortunate to have you for a sister.

Love Scada
