The Power of Difference

I always say Normal is boring.

It's better to stand out.

Don't let boring become normal

why settle for standard when you can set all the standards

Stand up when others stand down

Bring the next step to where we stand now and if you're asked to stand in then stand out

Be the one that others want to stand round

Don't be chameleons

when you can be

komodo dragons,

you can't stay see through forever

learn that from Frodo Baggins

you can fit in with the rythm till the toes are tapping

or stop the music altogether

and then see what happens

Because not everybody loves change

but everybody sees it

not everybody gets change

but everybody needs it

just because its comfortable

just because its easy

we don't have to be like what we see on the tv

It takes bravery to behave very different

it takes courage to encourage something new

It’s a hardy decision not to rest on your laurels But once the work is put in then that’s when you see the proof

When you’re younger Sticking out makes it harder at school They teach that blending in enhances your chances of cool Yet the black sheep’s the one that they ask for the woola So I hit em with a yessir, three bags full You cannot make a difference if indifferent

We as dreamers need to put the IF in different You never get ahead if you step at a set pace But if you give a little more that’s when you expect change a lot of dishes like to simmer with a similar pan but there is going with the flow and there’s giving a damn you can’t grab peoples’ attention if you sit on your hands sometimes it takes a light bulb to switch up the plan

The ugly ducking realized something wasn’t quite how it was billed Sitting on the fence is what got humpty dumpty killed The chicken crossed the road cause it got bored of facing the same And throwing stones in glass houses is what breaks through the pain

You don’t need to be loud to stand from the crowd

You can be the one that people want to listen to And if you have the audacity to have people listen You better make sure you have something to say Because no amount of oil will ever change the system But a spanner in the works might just make it brilliant If you want to make it worth then try and make it Different.
