I. Different

I was raising with other children
Same like they were
´till puberty started in us all
Looking for lovers

Girls were looking for handsome boyfriends
And boys for girls
As we were learned since we were born
And saw everywhere

On my first date I realized
And was so scared
That I felt more atraction to
Boy than that girl

Chorus:
Oh no I am different – what am I gonna do?!
Oh so different – my secret to cover
Oh no I am different – it makes me feel so down
Oh so different – I am the only one

So I had to pretending what
I could never feel
Afraid of these dirty names like
Bugger and qu*er

Chorus:
Oh no I am different – what am I gonna do?!
Oh so different – my secret to cover
Oh no I am different – it makes me feel so down
Oh so different – I am the only one

Trying to live in delusion
Struggle within
It was taking my lust for life
I could not win

Chorus:
Oh no I am different – what am I gonna do?!
Oh so different – my secret to cover
Oh no I am different – it makes me feel so down
Oh so different – I am the only one


II. Revelation

All alone in my dark appartment
Just TV´s blue light
Drunk again with bottle and pills
So close to suicide

Then I caught a voice from TV
Pop singer´s talking:

„This is a official statement of mine
And I hope it will help all other people
Who are suffering like me
From pretending someone they can´t ever be…I am gay“

I could not believe in my ears
He broke a fear within
He had gutts to tell the truth
He stopped to pretending

He gave me a light in sorrow
A strength to carry on
I realized there are more like me
I am not all alone!


III. Brave

Stop to pretending
Who I can´t ever be
Now I have gutts
To show you all…my real me!!

What is just normal
No one can really say
No one has right
To justify…my own way!!

Bridge 1:
All you law-makers – who decide what´s right
Keepers of morals – take a look inside
So scared to be real
Obey majority

Chorus:
Oh yes I am different – and I´m proud of it
Oh so different – no more pretending
Oh yes I am different – and more brave than you are
Oh so different – I´m not the only one

Bridge 2:
All you law-makers – who decide what´s right
Keepers of morals – pretenders outside
So scared to be real
Obey majority

Chorus:
Oh yes I am different – and I´m proud of it
Oh so different – no more pretending
Oh yes I am different – and more brave than you are
Oh so different – I´m not the only one
