The Ugly Duckling Lyrics

The pain that I feel;
the agony,
the tribulation,
is something I will overcome.
And I see the swan pond.
It"s hard to imagine a life free of strain.
I want this life that I am constantly denied.
They raise their hand in repugnance,
but I will get through.

Hey, duck,
go and hide inside!
You are too foul and ugly to socialize.
You might even scare them off.
Complain and cry.
You are a sucker,
you are a nasty case.
Your face should be hidden,
your presence forbidden.
Inside I am a diamond,
but turning inside out
is painfully complicated.
Now I will take my life and my leave.

Looking into the water;
too shocked to duck and drown.
I"m not the one that I used to be.
The mirror shows a swan.
Hey swan,
play with us tonight.
Follow the secret path where the river ends.
We welcome you to our home.
This way!
Come now!
Follow the secret path where the river ends.
You came out of nowhere.
We want you to live your life.
