So I'm Different

So I'm different

So I'm a Christian
I read the bible; I'm a goody-goody
I don't do anything wrong
I pray to God the father and Jesus
So I'm Christian

I'm Wiccan
I can cast spells and charms
To get that hot new kid in class
To bring someone from the dead
I'm Wiccan

I'm Buddhist
I know my religion but not the whole way
I believe in reincarnation and nirvana
I aim for perfection
I'm Buddhist

I'm a Taoist
I believe that when I die and I'm good enough
I get to live part of the Tao
It's yin and yang, people, yin and yang
I'm a Taoist

I practice Islam
I'm Muslim, not "Moslem", I like the sun and moon
I dress up in different clothes because I'm different
It's a law over here to act the way I do
I practice Islam

What I really want to say, no matter who I am
Is don't push me away because my religion seems a scam
I've got feelings just like you, and I don't kill for fun
If I said I was Catholic, would you call me a nun?

The things we do in life we choose by ourselves
And if we don't, then we're pushed by someone else
Don't treat me different just because we're not the same
Because if you do that, all you will do is discriminate

That's why they made people called friends
It's where the loving starts and the calling names ends
So if you want to let it slide that you're different from me
That's perfectly okay because that's how it's meant to be
