ugly duckling- ukulele and cello original

I just wrote this today about how it feels to be the ugly duckling who tuns into a swan. All of us at one time or another have felt like we have not fit in. Me included! We are all the same, we are all the ugly ducklings who are really swans... We are not alone!

Feathers you're not quite like the rest
Your eyes are not like mine
you wobble instead of waddle
We all cower away

I was taught to be afraid
Were all taught to be afraid
of the ugly duckling

They banish her from the land
To force away their discomfort
She talks to to bugs and imaginary friends
Who love her for who she is

I was taught to be afraid
Were all taught to be afraid
of the ugly duckling

So she swims by herself
and she flies by herself
Every day gets a little but lonelier
but the beauty of nature consoles her

chord change


One day it happens
A transformation
of long white wings and a graceful neck
and she sees it in her reflection


Let your love light shine
Let your heart shine
Let the music within you shine
We're all ugly ducklings
Were all ugly ducklings
