Story Behind The Song

Feeling like the odd one out. Being teased and bullied. Growing up and seeing the benefits, the strength.

Lyrics

Do they wonder why you act so strange?
Does it confuse you to see them all playing?
But you don't want to scare them off
Because they remind you of you
So many years ago, before you learned the truth

That you're not like anyone else
Afraid of all of them
Coz you've grown up all by yourself

The words they sling can hurt you deep inside today
But tomorrow you will see that it was worth it

Do they wonder what it's like to be the alien?
With no friends or confidant and no way out of here
Do they wonder how your life will turn out
With all the strength they're giving?
Or is it all they see is just the alien?
Oh Alien its painful now but these years will pass
And you'll grow strong

One day the time will come when the seeds that they laid
Will flower in your character and you'll learn to appreciate
Just how amazing life can be
When it gives it all back to you and now

You're not like anyone else
A better person
And you've learned how to love yourself

Looking back you just may find the answers
Seeing how those times were shaping who you are today

Do they wonder what it's like to be the alien?
With no friends or confidant and no way out of here
Do they wonder how your life will turn out
With all the strength they're giving?
Or is it all they see is just the alien?
Oh Alien its painful now but these years will pass
And you'll grow strong

You are the alien, you are the alien
And your gonna be strong, your gonna be the one
So you better run along there's a life to live

Do they wonder what it's like to be the alien?
With no friends or confidant and no way out of here
Do they wonder how your life will turn out
With all the strength they're giving?
Or is it all they see is just the alien?
Oh Alien its painful now but these years will pass
And you'll grow strong
