From the recording The Outsider
Lyrics
Never been the first choice
Rather the last among the boys
Spending hours in the dugout
Watching the game I’m left out
Not a loser not a winner
I have no sorrows or anger
See, I’m right here in the middle
With no one helping me to solve the riddle
Some are born genius
Some are born Jesus
Me, I’m just born that’s a fact
My normality sounds so flat
Because as long as I remember
I’ve always been the outsider
I’m one of the Teddy Bears on the shelf
Not the one that first caught your eyes
See, I’m just behind, quiet and shy
Pick me up, I will give you the very best of my game
Some are born genius
Some are born Jesus
Me, I’m just born that’s a fact
My normality sounds so flat
Because as long as I remember
I’ve always been the outsider
Sometimes I’m so downhearted
Working hard isn’t just enough
I’m begging for a slice of luck
To let me shine just one time
Never been the first choice
Rather the last among the boys
Spending hours in the dugout
Watching the game I’m left out
Some are born genius
Some are born Jesus
Me, I’m just born that’s a fact
My normality sounds so flat
Because as long as I remember
I’ve always been the outsider
