Tidal Mood

Like Everybody Else
music & lyrics by Kenneth-Michael Veltz (c) 1987

Other children laugh and play
Call each other on the phone
I help them look the other way
Pretend I like to be alone
Living this reality, sometimes is living hell
Why can't I be like everybody else

Lord, please show to me
Someone else who walked this road
For my strength is crumbling
And my faith's beneath this load
Worst of all sometimes I think. Even You don't want me well
Why can't I be like everybody else

Oh Lord, I know You hear my plea
Give me a reason to believe. Open my eyes and I'll see

Youngest son of my father's house
To often left alone
Brother's play with battle gear
I just play with stones
Left out here on the mountain side
By my harp, staff and self
Why can't I be like everybody else

Someone said he favored me
As down the pit I fell
I'm not so glad he gave to me
This coat of colored pelts
Now I'm left down here to die
And no one hears me yell

Lord let me see. Help me to be.
Glad I am me, and not like everybody else 
Glad I am me, I'm not like everybody else

Like Everybody Else2
