...you are so often so wrong about you and you don't even know it
Self-identified as particleboard, paper maché, duct taped
And we are wrong, and right, and confused
It's complicated, but so is a star
A flower, a quasar, a friendship, a marriage
May we be refuge for the complicated...
...You are a masterpiece fighting to be a silly selfie with a hideous filter
You are heaven's handmade calligraphy
Slumming it among papyrus fonts
You are the complete and perfect works
Of a perfect and eternal poet laureate
With a laundry list of identity issues..

“What this world needs,
Is for us to care more about the inside than the outside;
Have we become so blind that we can't see,
God's gotta change your heart before he changes a shirt…
What this world needs is a saviour who will rescue,
A spirit who will lead,
A father who will love them In their time of need” (What This World Needs)

“Welcome to the island of the misfit toys,
Land of the broken girls and boys;
This is for the misfits rejects, losers, defects,
Weirdos, awkward broke- down strange kids;
Don't you forget you are love ,you are loved…
This is for the skate kids, emos, straight kids, weirdos, gay kids, losers, broke down zeros
For the black kids, white kids, wrong kids, right kids, All kids
Don't you forget you are loved, you are loved, you are loved”
(Island of Misfit Toys)

WHAT THIS WORLD NEEDS
Casting Crowns
"What this world needs
Is for us to care more about the inside than the outside
Have we become so blind that we can't see
God's gotta change your heart before he changes a shirt
What this world needs
Is for us to stop hiding behind our relevance
Blending in so well that people can't see the difference
And it's the difference that sets the world free"
