Lyrics
Our Society
Holds me back from living
Your closed doors cause anxiety
Yet I'm somehow so forgiving
My back's against the wall
Afraid of moving on
They block my path
Won't let me through
They decide for me what I should do
No one should be deprived
From living their lives;
Because of who they are
And what they look like
Nothing is different today
The past remains the same
There's no ending to this game they play
It goes on and on
Will it ever change?
How I see me
Isn't the same as society?
They hold me back
They won't let me be.
They say I don't fit in
Rejection and isolation
Passing over me
I have dreams that they can't see
No one should be deprived
From living their lives;
Because of who they are
And what they look like
How can we change today?
So it won't remain the same
Change the ending to this game
they play
It continues on and on
Who I am,
Is who I want to be
They can accept me - ignore me
I won't listen to society
Be who you want to be
Break through those walls
You can set yourself free
Just be who you want to be.
Be who you wanna be.
Let's take a stand today
Don't let it remain the same
Make a difference in this game they play
Change the path we're going on
