It’s not about you,
It’s not about me,
It’s not about who you think I should be.
Because it’s about you
And it’s about me,
It’s all about how we should be free.
Because it’s about her
And it’s about him,
It’s about being happy with the color you’re living in.
It’s not about hate,
It’s not about sin,
It’s about being able to love the one you’re with.
And it’s about standing
Up for what’s right,
Raising your voice to join in the fight
To be who you are
To see past judgmental eyes
And love the broken and bruised and comfort their cries.
Because it’s about me
And it’s about them,
The children ripped away in Bethlehem.
And it’s about you
And it’s about walls,
What will you do when the angel calls?
Because it’s about you
And it’s about me,
It’s about all of us and who we’re meant to be.
Because it’s about hope
And learning to hear
The rhythm between the beats and the voices shouting: “We’re here!”
For we will not be quiet,
We will not be kept down.
We are rising up, and we are standing our ground.
For we are not afraid,
We are all one family,
And this is how it’s meant to be…
We are free!
