It ain’t no big deal
Another American kid graduates high school
With honors
It ain’t no big deal
A middle class white kid
Gets a diploma
It ain’t no big deal
A mother weeps in private
And smiles in public
It ain’t no big deal
A girl has a processing disorder
Three times as long to “get it”
It ain’t no big deal
She’s just shy
Terrified to talk to people
It ain’t no big deal
She screams at the lights
Runs from the sound
It ain’t no big deal
Your daughter has Asperger’s
She’s different
It ain’t no big deal
Cuz she shines
Oh how she shines…
