lyrics

You look at me and disagree and shake your head and sigh.
The thing that you don't understand is I'm not you, I'm I.
That is to say, in my own way, that I am only me.
The thing that you don't understand is, That's all I want to be.

I've no desire to aspire, all others to exceed.
The thing that you don't understand is these things I don't need.
That's not to say in any way I'm right and that you're wrong
The thing that you don't understand is, we sing a different song.

That's to imply that thoughts that I have differ quite from you.
The thing that you don't understand is, my thoughts do count too.
That's not to say in any way you're wrong and that I'm right.
The thing that you don't understand is we see a different light.

Different strokes for different folks, that's the way the saying goes.
That's not to say that you're not right, it's just that No One knows
So let this thought go not for ought, and help us see a Light.
Since No One knows, I guess it's so, that Both of Us are Right.
