lyrics

she's afraid to come out, and she can't wait to leave
and he longs for the day when he can wear his heart there on his sleeve
they don't know which box to choose form the two on the machine
and there's no one that looks like him projected on the screen

let him be, let her be, let them be
let her be, let him be, let them be themself

he calls out the hate when he sees it
their friends get mad - can't you just get along?
she's out of the group left alone again
can't believe she's got no friends
knocked down for standing strong

he gets stares and no one cares, she's different
she's not the same, they won't use his name
the butt of a joke, not so innocent pokes, disappointed by his folks
she's depressed, and they just want to scream

let him be, let her be, let them be
let her be, let him be, let them be themself
