As Fast as the Others

When I was a boy, the children
 In school could be so cruel
 Pick out the weakest
 Push down the weak
 Damage the injured
 Make themselves kings
 One day I told them to be kind
 To have clear presence of mind
 Then I was one of the weak
 As the downtrodden sing their song
 All faith is gone
 
 If you can't run as fast as the others
 You will still be my brother
 If you can't sail into the wind
 You will still be my friend
 ♪
 When I looked around, I found
 The dregs and the hypocrites following behind
 Point out impurity for they were the freaks
 Those without wisdom shall suffer their needs
 One day I told them to be pure
 And displace their state of hate
 Then I became the king
 And the children began to sing
 All faith is gone
 If you can't run as fast as the others
 You will still be my brother
 If you can't sail into the wind
 You will still be my friend
 ♪
 Oh, we were young the children were cruel
 Within the shadows do you find your use
 And if you were not good enough
 You have been disposed
 Their minds were closed
 ♪
 If you can't run as fast as the others
 You will still be my brother
 If you can't sail into the wind
 You will still be my friend.
