All the ways of the world are attacking me today
but I still stand strong, still going on my own way.
What you put into life you're gonna get out of it
so plug it in, plug it in and live.

And I know that nothing's wrong with me
what can I do to make you see that I'm alright? (I'm alright).
The real things that matter do not come from
anything that this world can give.

Can't you see that nothing's wrong with me?
I'm just a normal guy, plain and simple.
Out here, on the streets with nothing to prove...nothing to prove.

You say to me "why do you want to be so different?"
I just know that I don't want to be something that I'm not.
I'll be the best that I can be.

There's something different in the air when I run outside today
all the heads they turn, they turn my way.
And why'd you change the way that you act toward me?
I'm still the same, the same as yesterday.

And I know that nothing's wrong with me
what can I do to make you see that I'm alright? (I'm alright).
The real things that matter do not come from
anything that this world can give.

Can't you see that nothing's wrong with me?
I'm just a normal guy, plain and simple.
Out here, on the streets with nothing to prove...nothing to prove.

You say to me "why do you want to be so different?"
I just know that I don't want to be something that I'm not.
I'll be the best that I can be.

You say to me "why do you want to be so different?"
I just know that I don't want to be something that I'm not
Don't want to be something I'm not
I can't wait to see that look on your face
when I say goodbye
