On the outside looking in
This is where I’ve always been
I belong but have no place
Still I hold on just in case
On the outside looking in
Hoping this is when I’ll win
The door’s ajar, I step inside
But I’m ignored and pushed aside
On the outside looking in
Rejected, shamed, and hurt again
That world inside, I finally see
Is a twisted, warped reality
On the outside looking in
A better life I will begin
I find it’s outside I belong
Where I can heal, where I grow strong
