Why?  Is this world so cruel, so thirsty to enslave us?

Why is this world so violent breaking us slowly and slowly?

Why? Why can’t we do as our hearts want?

Why can’t we shine as fierce stars?

Why do we have to prove ourselves again and again?

We are just tired- tired of these opinions.

Tired of hearing,

“You can’t go there, you can’t come here, and you can’t do this or that”

but why, why can’t we stand on the beach on a winter night?

Why can’t we go out with friends on Saturday Nights?

Why can’t we sing and dance without being judged?

Why can’t we dress without being insulted by you?

Why can’t we fly high and touch the sky?

Why every time we try to be strong you break us into pieces?

Why every time we have to face fingers pointed at us by you

and you and everyone-

Who doesn’t have the power?

but curbs ours just to prove your superiority

Why do we have to kneel every time?

Why do you torture us every time we try to stand?

Why do you seal our mouths each time we try to speak?

I know why; because you are afraid

Afraid of the truth the world might come to know

Afraid of being rejected cause you know we will glow

But No no means no,

No means we won’t withstand this constant teasing anymore

We won’t kneel in chains

We won’t keep our mouths sealed

Or keep our face hidden

Because the time has come

 The time has come FOR YOU TO FALL

AND US TO RISE ABOVE ALL!
