Pride

Well, we're a long way from the Stonewall Inn I'm standing on this platform, no one's stopping me to sing But there's a multitude of sins That can hide behind your hashtag Tell me again how love wins Well, there's nothing new about this rage It's a war that's always waged Like how no one bats an eye That when fifty of us die and it It doesn't even make the Daily Mail front page Well, sometimes, it's like an uphill climb Yeah, sometimes, it's like an uphill climb But I'm right by your side And that's what we call pride And I know you don't wanna face the fact That each and every day we're still being attacked And sometimes it's by guns And sometimes it's by words And sometimes it's by the North Carolina Bathroom Act And yet, we're the same as everyone We're all under the same sun But if you're trying to suggest This is just about the West We've spent our whole lives looking down the barrel of that gun And sometimes, it's like an uphill climb Yeah, sometimes, it's like an uphill climb But I'm right by your side And that's what we call pride And the love we have each other Will defeat the hate we suffer You're my sisters, brothers, and all that's inbetween And if everything that I'm made of Was fashioned by your God above It was Him that gave this kind of love to me But sometimes, it's like an uphill climb Yeah, sometimes, it's like an uphill climb Oh, sometimes, it's like an uphill climb But I'm right by your side Oh, I'm right by your side And that's what we call pride And that's why we need pride
