Oversized Sweater

Hidden in an oversized sweater
Too shy to be front and center
Pressured to have everything together
His mind's a storm

Cluttered with the shadows of his family
Too much pain to carry
His talent is pretending to be happy
So on his own he mourns

But he finds comfort in the little things
Like watching his thumb turn to green
And having friends that don't mind when he causes a scene
Yeah, he finds hope within the gifts he brings
Like undiscovered bravery
Tucked away for his good measure
Under his oversized sweater

Voted least likely to make a difference
Too little confidence
But he thrives in doing what comes unexpected
For kindness always wins

So in the clutter of his painful history
He keeps his heart on his sleeve
His parents woven into all his memories
Their courage beneath his skin

But he finds comfort in the little things
Like watching his thumb turn to green
And having friends that don't mind when he causes a scene
Yeah, he finds hope within the gifts he brings
Like undiscovered bravery
Tucked away for his good measure
Under his oversized sweater

But he finds comfort in the little things
Like watching his thumb turn to green
And having friends that don't mind when he causes a scene
Yeah, he finds hope within the gifts he brings
Like undiscovered bravery
Tucked away for his good measure
Under his oversized sweater
