Walking through this world, feeling so alone In the shadows, where the light's not shown
They see the label, but not my heart Misunderstood right from the start
Unseen, like a whisper in the wind Fighting battles they can't comprehend
Unseen, but my heart's still strong Searching for a place where I belong
They don't see the tears I hide The strength it takes to stay alive
In this world I long to be Love for whom I am just me
Each step I take they turn away In the silence I find my way
Autism's part of who I am Not the whole, just a single strand
They don't see the tears I hide The strength it takes to stay alive
In this world I long to be Love for whom I am just me
In the darkness I find my light In the struggle I find my way
Through the pain I rise above In the end I'll find my love
I won't give up, I won't back down In this journey I'll stand my ground
For every heart that's felt this pain We'll find our place, we'll break these chains
They don't see the tears I hide The strength it takes to stay alive
In this world I long to be Love for whom I am just me
Unseen, but I know I'm strong In my heart I find my song
One day soon they'll finally see The beauty of who I am, just me
