[Verse 1]

I remember lying

Wide awake in bed each night

Asking God if he was

Sure he made me right

I don’t like the things they like

And I don’t play the games they play

I don’t sing along with their songs

Or see anything their way

[Chorus]

I wish I had a moment, with a younger me

To tell him different, ain’t a bad thing to be

[Verse 2]

You’ll only be remembered

If you brush against the grain

If you go to places they won’t go

And never shy away from change

The voices in your head

That you silеnce everyday

Soon will yеll across the room so loud

The world hears what they say

[Chorus]

I wish I had a moment, with a younger me

To tell him different, ain’t a bad thing to be

[Bridge]

The fear your restless mind

And the walls you built to hide behind

There’s nothing you should worry about

Dry your eyes and get some sleep

Honey, don’t be scared to chase your dreams

Why fit in when you could stand out?

[Verse 3]

I hope one day I’m playing

For a crowded room

And the words that I’m singin’

Reach a kid who’s different too

When they hear the chords I’m strumming

I hope they cry a little less

And stop losing sleep because cuz

They’re different from the rest

[Chorus]

If they learn one thing, from the notes I sing

It’s that different, ain't a bad thing to be

I wish I had a moment, with a younger me

To tell him different ain’t a bad thing to be

Ooh different, ain’t a bad thing to be
