(1) One day I went to school and met to, to my surprise,

A new kid just my age with muscles twice my size,

And when I looked at him, I wished that I could be

Big and strong and tall instead of little me.

(But then I thought....)

I never saw a pig flying like a bird;

To see a bird with teeth would surely be absurd.

I never saw a horse get hoarse from trying to sing;

I never saw a turkey wish that he were green.

I envy nobody 'cause God made me special as can be.

(2) So if you ever wish that you were someone else,

Here's how to be content just to be yourself:

Remember there is no one anywhere like you,

So if you need advice, I'll tell you what to do.

(Just think of this:)

You never saw a mouse meowing like a cat;

You never met a snake who wanted to be fat.

You never saw a fish wish he could be a frog;

You never heard a turtle barking like a dog.

Chorus: And I'm so glad to be just whom God made me.

(3) I N V nobody.

Make God G L A D.

Sing in H A R mony.

We should all L O V E.

Chorus: And I'm so glad to be just whom God made me.

I envy nobody 'cause God made me special as can be.

Coda: I'm thankful that God made me to be me.

There's no one else that I would rather be. Just me.
