I stood up on the stage
I started to sing my song
I said "I
Can rectify
Everything that's wrong."

And I couldn't understand why people laughed
I couldn't understand
I collected my things and I left
Because now I understand
I understand

I moved across the stage
I sang loud and proud in time
I said "I look into animals eyes and I see mine
I see mine."

And I couldn't understand why people laughed
I couldn't understand
I collected my things and I left
Because now I understand
I understand

Spotlit on the stage
For the whole world to see
I said "I am she
And hе is me, he is me"
In full flight on thе stage
I am now so poorly lit
I sing it because I
Could never speak it
I could never speak it

And I couldn't understand why people laughed
I couldn't understand
I collected my things and I left
Because now I understand
I understand

I froze up on the stage
The soul open wide
And people laughed so hard that they cried
