[Verse 1]

I'm in the back seat, buckled up

Gazing out the window, looking up

All them clouds in the sky

And I, wonder why, I'm heading to another one

What did I do to be deserving this?

Ever since birth, I've been hurt and it's

Frightening to me

These doctors have taken a likening to me

So, mom and dad, how come I can't play ball

Or run around with my friends for days on

And what's this scar down my chest, no one else has it

I've been marked as a kid who's different

So, mom, can you please answer the question

And explain to me this hidden message

When I was 3 weeks old, the doctor said it

Your son only has 10 percent

[Hook] 2x

10 percent chance of living

A life with something missing

My childhood, dad just fix it

That's all I'm wishing

To be 10 percent less different

[Verse 2]

I look around the halls, I see others

Other kids with their fathers and mothers

Sisters, brothers, grandparents, the whole family

It's time Cody, oh no, it can't be

Here comes the needle full of anesthetics

Inject it in my IV, man it's gettin

A little blury, I'm feeling wonderful

The walls in the halls look so colorful

The operating room, I'm familiar

My second bedroom, but more peculiar

More haunting, more strange

God, why am I here at this age?

I'm just a little kid, I should be in school

Playing at recess and learning too

When I was 3 weeks old, the doctor said it

Your son only has 10 percent

[Hook] 2x

[Bridge] 2x

As I grew older, I understood why

I had to keep going, I had to see the signs

That I was made to conquer life

I was made to conquer life

And now it's

[Hook 2] 2x

10 percent chance of living

A life with something given

A bright future, God, I thank him

And now I'm driven

To be 10 percent different
