This goes out to all those misunderstood
Remember you're not alone, and your difference is your power, your might
So be comfortable in your own throne
Danny Flite on the mic let's unite
Cause we're living in a spectrum, the colours are bright
But my parents in the dark couldn't see my light
Tried to bridge the gap but the distance grew, autism in my veins
A different view, it's okay, I'm fine without you, into a lion I grew, I'm fine without you.
Roar like a lion, I see you
Young heart so bold, in a world of confusion, I found my own lane
But my parents never grasped, couldn't feel my pain
A one of a kind, autistic mind
A puzzle they couldn't solve, all I got was blame, shame
Consumed by the flames, trying to break free
But they couldn't evolve, misunderstood, like speaking a foreign tongue
Locked in my world with lyrics unsung, I'll overcome, the curse of the black sheep son
I'll be shining bright like I'm the sun
Cause we're living in a spectrum, the colours are bright
But my parents in the dark couldn't see my light
Tried to bridge the gap but the distance grew
Autism in my veins, a different view, it's okay
I'm fine without you, into a lion I grew
I'm fine without you
I'm painting with words, but they couldn't see the art
Lost in translation a broken heart
Tried to connect but the wires got crossed
In a world of silence, my voice got lost
School hallways, echoed with judgement and stares
But in my mind's melody, I'm climbing stairs
Autism's rhythm, a beat of its own, but my parents couldn't dance to the tune
So my truth's unknown, as I reflect on my throne, I know that I'm not alone, yeah, I've grown
Cause we're living in a spectrum, the colours are bright
But my parents in the dark couldn't see my light
Tried to bridge the gap but the distance grew, autism in my veins
A different view, it's okay, I'm fine without you, into a lion I grew, I'm fine without you
We've been trained for individual differences to stand out
So you look at each person, immediately as brighter, dumber, older, younger, richer, poorer
And we put them in categories and treat them that way, there is no other, it is all one
Embrace yourself, don't live life on the shelf
