Being Normal

 

THE COMFORT OF BEING NORMAL

 

Do you know what its like to be normal

To walk and run and just have fun

To talk and sing or do anything

See the sky, or pictures and other things

Hear the sounds of the morning when it comes

Feel the softness of a woman's touch

 

These are the things we call normal

Now do you ever think, what is normal?

It's not being different, different at all

That is what normal means

 

What’s the opposite, what does it mean

Is it being a cripple unlike you or me

Or unable to see, hear or think like we

 

Can they enjoy a sunny day like us, yes

And they feel love and kindness

Yes they laugh and cry just like us

All these things they feel, like you and me

 

And yes that’s normal don’t you agree

Now you know, they’re just  like you and me

So when you see someone less fortunate we

Remember how normal we all can be
