Lyrics
No Comparison © 2003 Noe' Gutierrez, Jr.
When I was a child of 2 or 3
Somebody, SOMEbody, somebody told me
That men are not all made alike
I learned it back then
When I was a tyke
Comparison came to my side
And gave me a reason, reason to survive
And through all the teasing and all of the shame,
I played with my reason
In silence, this game.
Am I better than him?
Is he better than me?
And if I try harder maybe I could be!
And I made believe
On the stage of my mind
A play where no star
was bigger than I
But make-believe lasts
Only for a while.
And soon I forgot
What it was like to smile.
Comparison came to be by my side
until in comparison, identity died.
And so now, today, I've taken a glance.
I'd say I've been brave when before me I stand.
Brave and unashamed, knowing I AM a man
and that Jesus came that I could understand
no comparison
