Like Everybody Else by Veltzmusic2 published on 2022-08-15T05:48:11Z Like Everybody Else music & lyrics by Kenneth-Michael Veltz (c) 1987 Other children laugh and play Call each other on the phone I help them look the other way Pretend I like to be alone Living this reality, sometimes is living hell Why can't I be like everybody else Lord, please show to me Someone else who walked this road For my strength is crumbling And my faith's beneath this load Worst of all sometimes I think. Even You don't want me well Why can't I be like everybody else Oh Lord, I know You hear my plea Give me a reason to believe. Open my eyes and I'll see Youngest son of my father's house To often left alone Brother's play with battle gear I just play with stones Left out here on the mountain side By my harp, staff and self Why can't I be like everybody else Someone said he favored me As down the pit I fell I'm not so glad he gave to me This coat of colored pelts Now I'm left down here to die And no one hears me yell Lord let me see. Help me to be. Glad I am me, and not like everybody else Glad I am me, I'm not like everybody else Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter
