The day I was born, I remember it well,
Do they look with scorn, I never can tell,
This is me, it's how I am,
Now i'm free, i'm doing what I can.

Try as I might, i'll never be total,
So I take your slight, yes i'm too tall,
My face is pitted, my legs the wrong shape,
Say i'm dim witted, all this I can take.

My heart does not waver, I know this is true,
It'll never be over, but never again blue,
Take me with you, my image you see,
Insult me too, but know that i'm free.
