I make friends so easily
But just as fast, I let them go
I’m an easy-going man, you see
But some things I just can’t let show

I’ve never been called best friend
Never the favorite son
No I love you from my family
Maybe I’m the outcast one

Abandoned by my father
Raised by my grandma’s hand
Strict walls built around me
But I learned to take a stand

I’m the black sheep, walking alone
Carrying scars that no one has known
I smile, I laugh, I play my part
But there’s a shadow deep in my heart
I’ve lost the ones I loved before
Now I’m closing every door
Shaped by the pain, the fears, the lies
This is me, beneath the skies

I fit in quick, I talk with ease
Polite and kind, they say I’m fun
But trouble found me, brought me to my knees
A brawler’s past I can’t outrun

Ninety percent of my friends are virtual now
Screens replace the touch I crave
They call me antisocial, but how?
I’m just a man who’s learned to behave

Reserved and quiet, I seek my peace
Away from crowds, where chaos ceases
They throw their words, they don’t understand
The depth of a soul shaped by life’s demand

I’m the black sheep, walking alone
Carrying scars that no one has known
I smile, I laugh, I play my part
But there’s a shadow deep in my heart
I’ve lost the ones I loved before
Now I’m closing every door
Shaped by the pain, the fears, the lies
This is me, beneath the skies

Every step, every fall
Made me who I am through it all
I’m not broken, just rearranged
A soul transformed, forever changed

I’m the black sheep, walking alone
Carrying scars that no one has known
I smile, I laugh, I play my part
But there’s a shadow deep in my heart
I’ve lost the ones I loved before
Now I’m closing every door
Shaped by the pain, the fears, the lies
This is me, beneath the skies

This is me, beneath the skies
A man who’s learned to survive
This is me, beneath the skies
A story of a life, alive
