Rise Above

Location

When I was younger I didn't understand all of these feelings,

Why wasn't the opposite appealing?

And everything around me made me feel like a mistake,

I didn't know that I was made this way.

But then I found out I could be whatever I wanted,

And you wouldn't judge me no matter what I decided.

 

I am glad I am who I am now,

No longer full of lies and self-doubt.

But I still remember countless nights lying awake,

Just thinking I can't do this for another day.

But then I found out I could be whoever I wanted,

And you would love me no matter who I decided

 

I realized that I am who I was always meant to be,

I'm nothing short of that baby in nineteen ninety-three.

And we can be everything they hate,

But I know we'll never change.

 

This world was built on love,

So we've got to make this stop.

Let's take all their hate and turn it back into love,

Let's rise above.
