You Can Belong Here

On the outside staring through glass calling, to no avail feeling like you’re second class

When people talk you can’t understand you try to speak, but they dismiss you out of hand

Others get it smiling, laughing with a friend you want nothing more than to feel like you don’t have to pretend

So you move on searching for someplace where you can be more than just another face

But we will welcome you You don’t have to fear Please, come in and join us Because you can belong here
