We’re all struggling, trying to keep the faith
We’ve been told not to quit
Yeah, I’ve been good
I’ve been working hard
And I always try to do my part

But I have heard that I’m not to be trusted
And everything that’s wrong with this is me
And I’ve been told that I am good for nothing
And I don’t know that might just be
But everything happens for a reason
Whatever they say, it don’t bother me
It don’t bother me
It just sets me free

They push and they pull when they try to mold me
They twist and tweak to get me well-adjusted
They close my eyes so I won’t see
Now all they’ve got is someone who’s disgusted
But everything happens for a reason
Whatever they say, it don’t bother me
It don’t bother me
It just sets me free

Don’t let ‘em count you out
And don’t let people keep you down
Just hold your head up high
Cause there’s a way for every person
And there’s still a chance for everyone
Just open your eyes and see

I’ve been told that I am bound for nothing
Trouble’s what the future holds for me
But everything happens for a reason
Just wait and see
Just wait and see

Cause the world’s gonna know
That there’s nothing wrong with me

But I have heard that I’m not to be trusted
And everything that’s wrong with this is me
And I’ve been told that I am good for nothing
And I don’t know that might just be
But everything happens for a reason
Whatever they say, it don’t bother me
It don’t bother me
It just sets me free, yeah

They push and they pull when they try to mold me
They twist and tweak to get me well-adjusted
They close my eyes so I won’t see
Now all they’ve got is someone who’s disgusted
But everything happens for a reason
Whatever they say, it don’t bother me
It don’t bother me
It just sets me free
