America the beautiful
Your streets are paved with blood
and your river run with tears that flow
To form a cleansing flood
When they gun down our communities
All we get are thoughts and prayers
Politicians say what they want to say
But still act like they don't care
If you find the eye of the storm
Hold on, hold on
Don't you know it's always darkest before dawn
So shine on shine on
And we shake our heads at the news reports
and say "this isn't who we are"
Watching families get torn apart
But I've seen this hate before
And those who claim to love the holy one
Go marching into war
They have fallen for that silver tongue
Cut me down to build a wall
If you find the eye of the storm
Hold on, hold on
Don't you know it's always darkest before dawn
So shine on shine on

Remember that day
When you realized
That there is more to life
Than what you know
The colors grew bright
As they kissed your eyes
And brought the highest highs
and lowest lows
It was then when there was something left to lose
But some days the only hues that come are blue
Oooooh
We could carry on
Like birds that sing their song into
The night
Sapphire skies ring the morning in
Ideas form within our blooming minds
Oh what a sight
To see the daffodils
Break through the winters chill
and melt the ice
So occupy the streets
and let them hear your voice
For there are others
Who are waking up to join
Ooooooh
We will be heard
Like a flock of birds into
The light

I feel different
I don't see anyone like me
And I'm hearing all this talk of self love
and I don't know what that means
My back's in the corner
I'm the only one in the room
They tell me that a change is coming
I hope it's coming soon
Head under water
and the waves are rough
and I don't feel like I'm enough
Oh I don't feel like I'm enough
I am queer though I am quiet
They were fighting for my right to be
At the Stonewall Riots
My joy is,
My joy is my defiance
United we rise
Divided we fall
We fly the flag that carries the colors of us all
And we are resillient
We are so strong
But sometimes it's not easy
To keep your head up tall
You should know
That you're enough
Worthy of the light and love
Worthy of the light and love
We are Queer though we are Quiet
And they were fighting for our right to be
At the Stonewall Riots
and our joy is
Our joy is our defiance
Our joy is our defiance
Our joy is our defiance
Our joy is our defiance
