Pride – Get Away and Come Together
Stuck in a deep dark crevice
We have dreamt of a future from the past
Peeping from the windows of fear and shame
We have hidden the gems, the heart of us
But as the world marches towards this pride
I sit in a cafe and realize
It’s been long, long enough to this course
Rivers of tear and rivers of blood
Shades of skin and colors of gender
But we made it, and survived this far
Emphasizing that we are what we are,
There isn’t going to be a change in this course
A destiny waits, stripping out these social blindfolds
So get away and come together
Break the silence and these stupid barriers
Love isn’t a crime or guilt
Fuck the world that hates and despise
Get away and come together
Because we are free and we are alive.
