Lost in the books
Careless about the looks
That guy you called nerd
Can keep you on the hooks

The one with glasses
Who didn't bunk any classes
That guy you called nerd
Has churned out some pages

A little introvert
Far from a flirt
That guy you called nerd
Can make you love or hurt

He may look like a fool
But he lived on his rule
That guy you called nerd
Was so much cool

Cool in a way
You'd never understand
So take out your tiny thoughts
And hang 'em on the stands

Hang them till they realize
How everyone's so different
Till they get it in themselves
To respect all the variants

Then again let them in
And you'll feel the change in you
Those old and rusted thoughts
Would again be brand and new

Yes, you'll feel that change in you...

"Just because someone's a nerd doesn't mean he ain't cool. Yes, he may not be in your dictionary. But the thesaurus that he lives on, that's a rare specimen. It unexists in every other person."
