I'm a little boy with glasses The one they call a geek A little girl who never smiles 'Cause I have braces on my teeth And I know how it feels to cry myself to sleep I'm that kid on every playground Who's always chosen last A single teenage mother Tryin' to overcome my past You don't have to be my friend But is it too much to ask Don't laugh at me Don't call me names Don't get your pleasure from my pain In God's eyes we're all the same Someday we'll all have perfect wings Don't laugh at me I'm the beggar on the corner You've passed me on the street And I wouldn't be out here beggin' If I had enough to eat And don't think I don't notice That our eyes never meet Don't laugh at me Don't call me names Don't get your pleasure from my pain In God's eyes we're all the same Someday we'll all have perfect wings Don't laugh at me I'm fat I'm thin I'm short I'm tall I'm deaf I'm blind yes I think in a way we're all Don't laugh at me Don't call me names Don't get your pleasure from my pain In God's eyes we're all the same Someday we'll all have perfect wings Don't laugh at me I'm fat I'm thin I'm short I'm tall I'm deaf I'm blind yes I think in a way we're all I'm black I'm white and I am brown  I'm Christian I'm Jewish and I am Muslim I'm gay I'm lesbian I'm American Indian I'm very very young I'm quite aged I'm very wealthy I'm very very poor Don't laugh at me Don't call me names Don't get your pleasure from my pain In God's eyes we're all the same Someday we'll all have perfect wings Don't laugh at me My country 'tis of thee Oh sweet land of liberty It is of thee that I sing

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque la douleur et la vulnérabilité que ressentent ceux qui sont souvent jugés ou rejetés par la société. Elle met en avant le vécu d'individus différents, qu'ils soient marginalisés en raison de leur apparence, de leur situation ou de leur origine. Les paroles appellent à la compassion et au respect, soulignant que, malgré nos différences, nous sommes tous égaux aux yeux de Dieu. Le contexte est celui d'une lutte contre les préjugés et la moquerie. Chaque couplet illustre des histoires qui reflètent les défis quotidiens que rencontrent les personnes marginalisées, que ce soit un enfant aux lunettes, une jeune mère, ou encore un sans-abri. La chanson nous rappelle l'importance de la dignité humaine et encourage à regarder au-delà des apparences.
