Everybody laughed at you / For doing what you’re supposed to do / Standing up for what is true / Got your feelings hurt tonight / You must be doing something right // CHORUS: You’re so unusual / I think you’re beautiful / You’re so unusual // Gray is now the status quo / Black and white’s not in, you know / You’re the zebra in the pony show / Your wear your faith just like a light / I’d say you’re doing something right // CHORUS // Standing up for Jesus’ name / Just let them call you strange / I call you brave, unique and set apart / A masterpiece, a work of art / Living out what you believe / Being who you’re made to be / I love to see the way that you are so // CHORUS // Unusual / I think you’re beautiful / You’re so unusual / Oh, for heaven’s sake / You’re unafraid and unashamed / You’re so unusual // What’s up with all these shades of gray / The difference should be night and day / You’re so unusual // Brave, unique and set apart /Masterpiece, a work of art / Living out what you believe / Being who you’re made to be / I love to see the way that you are / Unusual

(Francesca Battistelli / Ian Eskelin / Tony Wood)

Behind the Song:
I hope “Unusual” becomes an anthem for young people. I wanted to write a song for that 16-year-old girl who loves God and wants to stand out from the crowd but is facing a lot of pressure to conform to the world. This is the song she puts on in her car on the way to school to be encouraged before she walks into the mission field. - Francesca Battistelli
