We Are Here

I’m here with Alexander fighting for the empire

Leaning on the general by my side

I’m here with Leonardo, taking on Firenze

Dreaming of a body that learned to fly

And we are here

We have always been here

Watching from the shadows

Or hiding in the light

We are here

We have always been here

And we won’t be silent

Anymore

I am here with Owen writing from the trenches

I am here with Turing trying to crack the code

I am in the prison where Wilde was tamed

Punished for the love that did not dare to speak its name

Time will tell, this is not your time

Haven't heard your voice yet unless they read between the lines

But we are here

We have always been here

Watching from the shadows

Or hiding in the light

We are here

We have always been here

And we won’t be silent

Anymore

I am here with Ginsberg

I am here with Baldwin

I am here with Harvey trying to change the law

Throwing bricks at Stonewall

Mardi Gras in Sydney

Acting Up in New York

Dancing at Pulse

I am in the kitchen with my family, watching TV

When I saw the grim reaper, and a bowling ball

I am in the change room, when they beat me senseless

When they tried to shame us

We were there

Time will tell this is not your time

Haven’t found your home yet haven’t found your tribe

We are here

We have always been here we are waiting, you are loved

We are waiting we are waiting we are waiting you are loved

We are waiting we are waiting we are waiting

(Waiting, yes)

We are waiting we are waiting we are waiting
