The Kids Who Are Different

December 27, 2009

Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids not allowed to get A’s
Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who can not meet your gaze

Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who can not wear high heels
Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who sit in seats on wheels

Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids whose lives have not been a breeze
Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids with the dreadful disease

Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who can not go to school
Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who are so very cool

Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who will never sing along
Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who will never dance to a favourite song

Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who can not kick a football
Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who will professionally… fall

Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who own guide dogs
Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who will never have their own sprogs

Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who can not hug their mums
Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who can not do sums

Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who can not use Yahoo! chat
Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who can not stroke a pet cat

Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who can not lift a pen
Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who can not use MSN.

Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who do not have a sister
Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who will never play Twister

Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who can not run for miles
Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who express themselves with smiles

Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who will never do art
Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who are so very smart

Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids whose silence never ends
Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who are my very best friends

Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who will never drive cars
Raise your glasses to the kids who were different
To the kids who have now turned into stars

Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who have never used the Internet
Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids we must never forget

Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who are the only ones
Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who are daughters and sons

Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who will never read books
Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who never get loving looks

Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who can not return a sign of love
Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who are gifts from above

Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To the kids who have never had a phone call
Raise your glasses to the kids who are different
To show them that, really, they are not that different at all!
