lyrics

To the freaks and the normals shall I raise a drink,
And pull up a chair and tell you what I think?
But there again, of course I might tell a lie,
But on that you’ll have to judge.

I can’t swear to you that I’ll be strong.
I can’t swear to you I’ll do no wrong.
I might mess things up, you’ll have to wait and see,
Perhaps you’ll split your sides with glee.

I remember when I was a just a child,
I never had the courage to run free and wild.
But I dreamt I might one day or so
If I got half a chance to fly.

Well, life gives you wings, and it clips them too,
From the looks of it, it did the same to you.
Well here’s a hand, just skin to skin
Let’s pull each other through

We’re not important, but we matter a lot.
We have it all, and yet not a jot.
Take all your time, in no time at all,
And I will walk by the side of you.

We’ve feet in the dirt, but a head in the sky.
We’re quick to laugh, but still prone to cry.
Take all your time, in no time at all,
And I will walk by the side of you.

And if you don’t mind, well I’ll make a boast,
Without fuss or palarver or speech or toast,
And it’s this, that I’m the best friend you’ll ever have.
That’s a real pledge to you.

I might not do all you expect of me.
Sometimes I might need to feel a little free.
But when you need a hand, just skin to skin,
I’ll be there to pull you through.

We’re not important, but we matter a lot.
We have it all, and yet not a jot
Take all your time, in no time at all,
And I will walk by the side of you.

We’ve feet in the dirt, but a head in the sky.
We’re quick to laugh, but still prone to cry.
Take all your time, in no time at all,
And I willl walk by the side of you.
