I’ve been running near & far
Covered in blisters & scars
(Oh no) for too long
Covered in blisters & scars
(Oh no) for too long
Locked away behind these doors
I am crawling on the floor
Am I strong? This feels wrong
I am crawling on the floor
Am I strong? This feels wrong
And then no one’s ever told me
Why people care who holds me
Oh, so do you?
Why people care who holds me
Oh, so do you?
And can you be the power
Blooming in me like a flower
In Spring, be my wings
Blooming in me like a flower
In Spring, be my wings
I wish I knew
What I take away from you
(But) i can’t & i won’t
Let you walk all over me
What I take away from you
(But) i can’t & i won’t
Let you walk all over me
You make no sense
When you excuse your ignorance
So don’t you ever try & silence me
With your bigotry
When you excuse your ignorance
So don’t you ever try & silence me
With your bigotry
Every day I have to lie
And it’s hard to feel alive
When I’m my own crime
And it’s hard to feel alive
When I’m my own crime
But I am human, can’t you see?
There’s no justifying me
Cause I am what I am
There’s no justifying me
Cause I am what I am
I can’t believe I still need to say
We are still waiting for the day
When everybody gets a place in the sun
Your daughter and your son
We are still waiting for the day
When everybody gets a place in the sun
Your daughter and your son
I can’t believe that we still look for love

When all we need is to say it loud
I’m human & I’m proud
