They left you upside down inside a hanging sleeping bag
They broke my glasses playing keep-away
It's the reason that we feared each school day
When they stuffed you in that box and sat upon the lid
When they told us we were only stuttering and stupid
Now fly you orphans
Here you belong
Welcome you wayward souls
Now lift your song
They laughed at you because you had punk rock hair (punk rock hair)
Cowboy hats just aching for a chicken fight
They punched you stomach just to feed their egos
Called you "faggot" just to drown your sunlight
One time I held my voice they told me never sing
They only pin the angels to the earth to break their wings
Now fly you orphans
Here you belong
Welcome you wayward souls
Now lift your song
They pushed you down on the frozen ground
The bullies gathered all around
They had no right to steal your song (you belong)
But you are here and they are gone
So sing on
Now fly you orphans
Here you belong
Welcome you wayward souls
Now lift your song
(So sing on)
Now fly you orphans
Here you belong
(So sing on)
Welcome you wayward souls
Now lift your song
