What makes him better than us?
He asked me as we sat alone
I didn't answer
How could I have known?
What make him better than us?
Is it the eyes, the voice, the hair?
That's the question that's been
Hanging in the air

I see you standing there
People hanging on your every word
And no matter how loud I yell
I'm almost never heard
What are these important things
You have to say?
Is your voice truely ment
To over power all?
What gives you the right
To steal everybody's spotlight?
What gives you the right
To rain on everyone's parade?

What makes him better than us?
He asked me as we sat alone
I didn't answer
How could I have known?
What make him better than us?
Is it the eyes, the voice, the hair?
That's the question that's been
Hanging in the air

I've had a chance to think
About the way you live your life
I wouldn't want to live
Under everybody's eyes
You always have to have
Something to say
'Cause everyone will remember
Exactly what you said
How do you live
Under everybody's spotlight?
How do you live
At the head of everyone's parade?

What makes him better than us?
He asked me as we sat alone
Now I know the answer
Now I've been showen
Nothing makes him better than us
It's not the eyes, the voice, or hair
The answer's come to me
Whispered through the air

What makes him better than us?
He asked me as we sat alone
Now I know the answer
Now I've been showen
Nothing makes him better than us
It's not the eyes, the voice, or hair
The answer's come to me
Whispered through the air
