(Verse 1) I’m just a kid, in a crowded hall, Got my quirks, but I’m standin’ tall. I remind myself, like Temple Grandin, Turning fears into strength, that’s where I begin. In the lunchroom, hear the laughter and cheer, But I’m in my head, the world disappears. Got my sketchbook, pencils in hand, Drawing my dreams on this paper land. (Chorus) Life with autism isn’t a cage, It’s a wild ride, turning a page. I’m the star of my story, shining so bright, With every step forward, I’m taking flight. Girls gather ‘round like it's Beatlemania, Cops keepin’ watch, but I’m feelin’ the euphoria. Acceptance and passion, I wear them like a crown, Life with autism, I’m never backin’ down. (Verse 2) Remember that day, the school talent show, I took the stage, and let my heart flow. The spotlight hot, but I felt so alive, With my confidence high, boy, I could thrive. Singing my song, I felt the crowd’s roar, And in that moment, I opened a door. The taste of freedom, electric and sweet, With every note, I felt my heart beat. (Chorus) Oh, life with autism isn’t a cage, It’s a wild ride, turning a page. I’m the star of my story, shining so bright, With every step forward, I’m taking flight. Girls gather ‘round like it's Beatlemania, Cops keepin’ watch, but I’m feelin’ the euphoria. Acceptance and passion, I wear them like a crown, Life with autism, I’m never backin’ down. (Bridge) I see the world through a different lens, Finding beauty in moments that never end. From the scent of fresh rain on a summer day, To the laughter of friends, who light my way. I’m growing up, but I’m still a kid, With dreams in my heart and no way to hid. Opportunities knocking, I’ll answer the call, With every challenge faced, together we stand tall. (Chorus) Yes, life with autism isn’t a cage, It’s a wild ride, turning a page. I’m the star of my story, shining so bright, With every step forward, I’m taking flight. Girls gather ‘round like it's Beatlemania, Cops keepin’ watch, but I’m feelin’ the euphoria. Acceptance and passion, I wear them like a crown, Life with autism, I’m never backin’ down. (Outro) So here’s to the journey, the ups and the downs, With love in my heart, I’ll wear my own frowns. I’ll dance to my rhythm, let the whole world see, That life with autism is truly just me.
