Tonight will be the night I cry
For all who risked there life
To let me live another day
And for me to see the light of day once again
Some don’t know how or who
But other never will know
I think upon all who I have disappointed
As I look out into the crowd
Or as I stand here motionless
Not knowing what has happened while police rush in
As I stand in the middle of the dance floor
I look around me thinking I’m, just like everyone
But I see everyone alike but me
I feel like the ugly duckling
Left out
As I go back to my table I see my family sitting there
Smiling and talking to each other
Seeing them all having fun
And me just sitting there watching
I sit at the table listening to my loud music
Looking at them all
Thinking will I ever be who they want me to be
I open my notebook and start to write
I cry tonight
For the people who have risked there lives
To save mine
Looking at the time as it’s now 12 past 9
And my mother and father are dancing away
As I watch them
They disappear in the crowd
Then reappear once again
To kiss me good night
