Let Us Live

Forgo your fears, stifle your doubts

We cannot thrive 'til they're cast out

What blessing had you upon your birth

That seemed to elude my cradle?

What anguish should befall you

Were I to become your peer?

And would it match the daily dread

Your ignorance costs me dear?

It seems our presence pains you

But you're at ease when we pass

So if in your head I'm a deviant

What about me can't you stand?

Is it my skin? Is it my lover?

Is it my body and all that it's suffered?

Is it the way I just want to be seen?

Is it my life you want taken from me?

We've been hеre all along

Forever standing wrongеd

What you see as deceit

Is our living honestly

In the face of your abuse

We stand with nothing left to lose

We strive to speak our truth:

We live in spite of you

This fear, you'll never know

This life, you'll never lead

This love, you'll never feel

This death, you'll never see

With what trace of resolve is left in my hands

This once desperate plea... becomes a demand:

Let us live

Let us live

Let us live

Let us live
