Maybe I don't speak too well, but I'm coming outta my shell
And I like playing by myself if you can't tell
I like to go to school, yeah I'm a miracle, and I'm glad to be alive
If you'll wait patiently, well then eventually,
I will understand the words that you're saying to me
My autism, is like a prison, that I'm in
I share my heart but only in my mind,
I share my pain when I scream at night
I can't express to you, what I'm going through,
The only way is for me to cry
Mom I see your fear, through every single tear
Just to know I've caused you pain from inside of here
My autism, is like a prison, that I'm in
I share your joy but only in my mind
You show me love but just not in my time
Cause my reality, takes everything in me
To make it through without a fight
I know you love me, when you hug me,
And when I hear you pray to God for Him to heal me
Maybe one day, you won't have to pray
And I won't have to see you cry
(reprise)
Maybe one day, I won't be this way,
Until then we'll get by
