[Verse 1] You count the ceiling tiles in threes I name the clouds like old movies You wear your laugh a little loud I draw strange planets in the margins now They say, “Be normal, blend right in” But we’ve got better ways to begin [Pre-Chorus] When you show the thing you thought was too much I’ll meet your eyes and say, “That’s us” [Chorus] Here’s to the odd ones, bright and uncontained To the brave little sparks that refuse to behave You bring your wild thought, I’ll bring mine too We make a wider world by making space for you Be strange out loud, let your colors run free I’ll cheer for your difference; you cheer for me [Verse 2] You learn the names of every pigeon I build a sculpture from a tin-can lid We trade our favorite useless facts And laugh until the day folds back No need to match the usual design Your peculiar’s welcome next to mine [Bridge] If the crowd says, “Tone it down,” I’ll stand right here and turn you up [Final Chorus] Here’s to the odd ones, bright and uncontained To the brave little sparks that refuse to behave You bring your wild thought, I’ll bring mine too We make a wider world by making space for you Be strange out loud, let your colors run free I’ll cheer for your difference; you cheer for me [Outro] You cheer for me
