Johnny Orr Band – We’ll Get By (The Autism Song) [Subtitled]

Subtitled music video

Official lyrics:

Maybe I don’t speak too well,
but I’m coming outta my shell.
And I like playing by myself, if you can’t tell.
I like to go to school.
Yeah, I’m a miracle.
And I’m glad to be alive.
If you’ll wait patiently,
well, then eventually,
I will understand the words that you’re saying to me.
My autism is like a prison that I’m in.
I share my heart, but only in my mind.
I share my pain when I scream at night.
I can’t express to you what I’m going through.
The only way is for me to cry.
Mom, I see your fear through every single tear.
Just to know I’ve caused you pain from inside of here.
My autism is like a prison that I’m in.
I share your joy, but only in my mind.
You show me love, but just not in my time.
‘Cause my reality takes everything in me,
to make it through without a fight
I know you love me, when you hug me.
And when I hear you pray to God for Him to heal me.
Maybe one day you won’t have to pray.
And I won’t have to see you cry.
Maybe one day, I won’t be this way.
Until then, we’ll get by.
