normal

I want to act normal

like the folks on TV

who are everything I

would like to see

when I look in the mirror

there I am

sad, lonely, and sorry

and I don't give a damn

I want to be normal

like the man on the street

friendly and caring

to every person I meet

but instead I pull inward

and I can't see outside

to the love and friendship

that I've been denied

if you know normal

if that's what you see

please take your secret

and give it to me

I won't pass it on

that's what I won't do

I want to act normal

exactly like you
