Dare to be different
Stop stomping on the beaten path
Say, dare to be different
Stop stomping on the beaten path
Count Life’s manifold mysteries
In the book of uncommon math
Look up the sunny sky
And count the teeth of absent clouds
Yes, look up the sunny sky
And count the teeth of absent clouds
Earn your stripe, embrace your Song
And stand straight up in motley crowds
Don’t squeeze your dream
In the shell of petty nights
Hear? Don’t squeeze your dream
In the shell of petty nights
Choose your battle with infinite care
Leave the mean to their fecklessfights
There is something in the uniform
That de-forms the substance of the self
Yes, something in the uniform
Which de-forms the substance of the self
Ever so hard, isn’t it?
To spot the bee in the swarm
Dare to be different
Dare to dream
Yes, dare to be different
Dare to dream
A fresh, new song, a personal touch
A long-sought tonic to the ailing team
and then
