Black Sheep
You're part of the flock
Or at least just about
You're the one sheep
The rest can do without.
You wish you could fit in
But it's so hard to change
The other sheep talk
About how they think you're so strange.
All you want are some sheep
Who will be a friend to you
But you get outcast and isolated
And it makes you feel blue.
You start thinking to yourself
What have I done wrong?
But you find another black sheep
And you start to get along.
They make you feel good, and
Tell you there are others
The black sheep all meet
And become closer than brothers.
The black sheep are all happy
You found the friendship you sought
You couldn't care one bit
About what the rest of the flock thought.
In life you may be judged
For being different and unusual
But don't base your self worth
Off of other people's approval.
