Fighting Too Be Me


One foot in front of the other
I will march with all my peers
Demanding all the equal rights
I’ve been denied too many years
Together we’ll look
Adversity in the eye
We will show no sign of weakness
You will not see our spirits die
Hand in hand,
Heart in heart
Our hope unites us together
Our dreams will pave the city streets
Our passion melt the coldest weather

The dead we loved will be there too
The leaders past and leaders new
The victims that were publicized
And victims no one could hear cry
Will be given a voice and represented
As we march throughout the day
The people who are closeted
will hear the message
"It's okay"
Come out! Come out! Wherever you are!
We need you here we need to prove
to the entire United States of America that
we are standing strong and wont be moved

Come march for you brothers
Come stand for your sisters
who are dying in this war
who are being forced to live a lie
as they fall down in the sands to die
it's time to say no more! no more!
We can not tolerate this anymore!
All of this injustice and hate
we have to now obliterate!
we have to demand our place in this land
we must unite and make a stand!

Our community must realize
how beautiful they really are
we must know that we are deserving and
the right to marry should be ours
If some one tries to give you less
spit it out and tell them no!
Don't let anyone insult you
just because they do not know
that we too are equal under god
and we will find our place in the law
do no tolerate any special rights
take a stand and join the fight!

Don't let anyone tell you who you are
and try to fit you into a mold
or try to assign you gender for you
and never ever believe it when you're told
that your orientation is just a phase
your love a mental illness
an abomination to your God
a citizen that is worth less
Don't support businesses that can fire you
just because you're gay
our companies who don't accept transgender
because they believe it's not okay
speak up to schools who give their teachers
no choice but to not be out
to schools where there's no GSA
you have to point these problems out!

Dont tolerate bring second-rate
dont live your life in fear
demand that you be represented
in a voice that's loud and clear!
Let your neighbors know you're there
cause guess what world!
We're everywhere!
And no longer will be ignored!

We must mutilate discrimination
like we tried to do segregation
we have to tear apart oppression
and teach the world a priceless lesson that
There's no difference between me and you
Just because we have separate views
there is nothing wrong with L-G-T
and all the letters in between
we all deserve equality
Everyone; them, you and me
