this Peter,Paul and Mary song just fills me with emotion
http://www.peterpaulandmary.com/music/f-22-11.htm
DON'T LAUGH AT ME
(Steve Seskin/Allen Shamblin)

I'm a little boy with glasses
The one they call a geek
A little girl who never smiles
'Cause I have braces on my teeth
And I know how it feels to cry myself to sleep
I'm that kid on every playground
Who's always chosen last
A single teenage mother
Tryin' to overcome my past
You don't have to be my friend
But is it too much to ask

Don't laugh at me
Don't call me names
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In God's eyes we're all the same
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me

I'm the beggar on the corner
You've passed me on the street
And I wouldn't be out here beggin'
If I had enough to eat
And don't think I don't notice
That our eyes never meet

Don't laugh at me
Don't call me names
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In God's eyes we're all the same
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me

I'm fat, I'm thin, I'm short, I'm tall
I'm deaf, I'm blind, yes, I think in a way, we池e all
I知 black, I知 white and I am brown
I知 Christian, I知 Jewish, and I am Muslim
I知 gay, I知 lesbian, I知 American Indian
I知 very, very young, I知 quite aged
I知 very wealthy, I知 very, very poor

Don't laugh at me
Don't call me names
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In God's eyes we're all the same
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me

My country 奏is of thee
Oh, sweet land of liberty
It is of thee that I sing

1. Mark Wills, a country singer, did that song too
His was recorded in the 90's and I prefer it over Peter, Paul & Mary's.

It is a touching song.

8. Thanks! (sniff)
I bookmarked the song so I can listen to it again. It makes me want to get out there and fight for someone.
