[Verse 1] You wore that silver coat in July Drew a blue sun on your lunchroom tray They said, “Be sensible, color inside” You kept the page and walked away [Pre-Chorus] They called it strange when you changed the frame You saw a door where they saw a wall Keep that spark, keep your own name The future starts with the ones they call [Chorus] We’re the weird ones, way out front Making maps from the things they don’t want Call us odd, call us out of line We’re just early; give it time We’re the weird ones, bright and brave Building what they didn’t know to name When the whole room says, “That can’t be done” We’ve already begun [Verse 2] You turned a spare-room box of wires Into a tool that helps folks breathe They laughed at your impossible plans Now they’re asking what you see [Pre-Chorus] They called it strange when you changed the frame You saw a door where they saw a wall Keep that spark, keep your own name The future starts with the ones they call [Chorus] We’re the weird ones, way out front Making maps from the things they don’t want Call us odd, call us out of line We’re just early; give it time We’re the weird ones, bright and brave Building what they didn’t know to name When the whole room says, “That can’t be done” We’ve already begun [Bridge] Save a seat for the kid with the notebook For the one who asks why it has to be so Every “what if” is a match in a pocket Give it a little room, watch it grow [Final Chorus] We’re the weird ones, way out front Making maps from the things they don’t want Call us odd, call us out of line We’re just early; give it time We’re the weird ones, bright and brave Building what they didn’t know to name When the whole room says, “That can’t be done” We’ve already begun We’ve already begun
