Píseň: The Different

Interpret:
Melissa Etheridge
Album:
Skin
You've never been to the moon
But don't you want to go
Under the sea in the volcano
You've never looked into my eyes
But don't you want to know
What the dark and the wild 
And the different know


Come dance with me now
We'll dance without a care
I'm as free as a fire
And change is in the air
There are some things in my life
I'll never understand
But they become the force
That makes me who I am


Don't you worry about the kids
The kids are all right
Mama's rollin' in the back yard
Filled with love and light
'Cause you live and you learn
And you learn to hold on
And time will make it heal
And time will make it gone


Come with me now
Come with me now
It's time to try
It's time to fly
