**[Verse 1]**
I stand at the window, see the children running, laughing, jumping, the world is so fast.
My legs want to join in, but they can't carry me far, I'm stuck here, in my own dress.
They kick the ball, I kick with my eyes, dreaming of meadows, of freedom.
**[Pre-Chorus]**
I know I'm different, I see it every day, when glances brush against me, quietly asking: "What is that?"
But deep inside me burns a fire so bright, a voice that whispers: "You are wonderful, just the way you are."
**[Chorus]**
Because every person looks different, tall, short, fair or brown – but when we cut ourselves, we bleed exactly the same, red and warm, that connects us richly.
I have courage, I have joy in life,
my world is colorful, even if it shines differently.
**[Verse 2]**
I paint the streets with wheels instead of feet,
inventing stories where I fly right in the middle of them.
Others see trees and sky so clearly,
I see dragons and stars in them, close to me.
My eyes tell what legs can't,
I laugh out loud because life is so beautiful – despite everything.
**[Bridge]**
Sometimes in the evenings, doubts come very quietly,
whispering: "You'll never be like them."
But I close my eyes, breathe deeply,
and feel my heartbeat – strong and alone.
One day, I know it, everything will be alright,
I will smile and fall peacefully asleep.
**[Chorus – Outro]**
Because every person looks different,
and yet we all bleed the same.
I have courage, I have joy in life,
and eventually I fall asleep happily –
in my world, which belongs only to me,
content and free, finally home.
