Let me be free.
Let me speak the way I want to speak.
Hold me back no more.
Don’t tell me I’m wrong anymore.
I will no longer listen to you.
I will no longer follow in a line.
I will no longer just stand by and watch as we die.
I will stand up for what I believe in.
I will fight the never ending fight.
I will now speak what I believe to be true.
I will no longer hide in fear of being shot down.
I will stand up and be proud.
I’ll be who I want to be not you who wish me to be.
I’ll break free of the enslavement that I must endure.
Let it be heard and seen that the truth must be heard.
That the truth must be spoken.
I no longer see the lies; I see nothing but the truth.
So now I call on you to help spread the truth.
Speak the lies no more, and tell everyone the truth.
No longer be enslaved, and shackled to the lies we were told.
Believe in what is true, and speak to be free.
Break free from what they want.
And remember what it felt like to dream.
Dream of a better world, and help it be.
Dream to be free once again
So join in the fight to be free once again.
