If you think I’m quiet
You’ve got it all wrong.
As I can be quite lively
And chat all day long!
If you think I’m ordinary
You’re way off your peak.
There’s no one else like me,
That’s ’cause I’m unique!
If you think I’m special,
You’re very close there!
It’s actually something we all have—
It’s an Identity we all share!
