Strong

[Sally]

I can't tell you all my secrets

[Percy]

Maybe you should start with one

[Sally]

You're right

I'll show you where I met your dad

He'd be proud of his son

[Percy]

Who cares?

We're better off without him

[Sally]

No

It's time you found out

More about him

[Percy]

Wow, look at the size of those waves

[Sally]

Fire's going

Somebody needs a marshmallow

And they're blue!

Don't tell me you're too old for blue food

[Percy]

You met dad on this beach?

[Sally]

I first saw him in the water

Coming out of the morning mist

He was handsome, strong

And before too long-

You came

To exist

[Percy]

And he ditched us

No coming home for dinner

Yeah, he sounds like a real winner

[Sally]

Percy, he didn't have a choice

He wanted to meet you

And he warned me that things

Might be hard if you were like him

[Percy]

Was he a screw up too?

Sorry, mom. If I was only

Normal-

[Sally]

Hey

Blue food isn't normal

Blue food is strange

And that's why it's my favorite

I never want it to change

To make it boring orange or green

Why be blah

When there's aquamarine

Normal is a myth

Everyone has issues they're dealing with

[Percy]

Mom, if you're weird, you're weak

[Sally]

That's where you're wrong

The things that make you different

Are the very things that make you

Strong

So, be strong

You'll see, you're destined for great things

[Percy]

The only thing I seem to be destined for is detention

I can't focus

I stink at school

My A.D.D. gets the best of me

Dyslexia: Not cool

[Sally]

Just hang on son

One day you'll find

You'll leave that boring little life behind

[Percy and Sally]

Normal is a myth

Everyone has issues they're dealing with

[Sally]

And there's a place

You need to go

Where you belong

Where the things that make you different

Are the things that make you special

Special like your father

Yes, percy, you are special

Like food the color blue

All the things that make you, you

Are the things

That will make you

Strong

[Percy and Sally]

So be strong
