07 We Are the Music
DANIEL:
THEY DENY US.
THEY ALL LIE AS WE ALL CRY.
THEY DECRY US.
THEY WOULD RATHER SAY GOODBYE
THAN STAND BY US.
THEY ASK WHY AND WE REPLY
THAT WE’RE JUST WHO WE WERE MEANT TO BE.
BILLIE:
THEY DECLARE US
TO BE BROKEN, SAY A PRAYER
TO REPAIR US,
BUT THEY NEVER REALLY CARE.
IRIS:
THEY JUST SCARE US
WHEN THEY TELL US TO BEWARE
OF AN ENDLESS HELL FOR THOSE WHO BREAK WITH BIBLICAL DECREE.
ALL EXCEPT CALEB:
BUT WE ARE THE MUSIC.
LET THE MUSIC PLAY.
THEY ARE THE SILENCE LEADING US ASTRAY.
WE ARE TOMORROW FIGHTING FOR TODAY.
WE ARE THE MUSIC.
DON’T LET IT FADE AWAY!
CALEB:
IT AFFLICTS US,
‘CAUSE THE DEVIL, WITH HIS TRICKS,
HE INFLICTS US,
BUT WITH JESUS IN THE MIX,
THEY CAN FIX US.
IRIS:
BUT THE BIBLE, IT CONFLICTS
WITH WHAT WE FEEL AND WHAT WE SEE.
ALEX:
THEY CREATE US.
THEN, THEY SEE THAT WE’RE NOT STRAIGHT.
THEY EQUATE US
WITH THE WORST THAT THEY CAN STATE,
JO:
SO THEY HATE US,
AND THEY SAY THERE’S NO DEBATE,
‘CAUSE THEY KNOW WHAT THEY KNOW. WHO ARE WE TO DISAGREE?
YOUTH EXCEPT CALEB:
BUT WE ARE THE MUSIC.
LET THE MUSIC PLAY.
THEY ARE THE SILENCE LEADING US ASTRAY.
WE ARE TOMORROW FIGHTING FOR TODAY.
WE ARE THE MUSIC.
DON’T LET IT FADE AWAY!
DANIEL:
WHEN THEY’RE NEAR US,
THERE IS ONE THING THAT IS CLEAR:
YOUTH EXCEPT CALEB:
THEY WON’T HEAR US
ALEX:
WHEN WE TELL THEM THAT WE’RE QUEER.
YOUTH EXCEPT CALEB:
‘CAUSE THEY FEAR US
JO:
AND THEY HOPE WE DISAPPEAR,
‘CAUSE THEY’D RATHER BE RIGHT THAN HAVE THEIR CHILDREN BE FREE.
YOUTH EXCEPT CALEB:
SO WE’LL SHOW THEM
BILLIE:
THAT THEY’RE CHANGING MUCH TOO SLOW.
YOUTH EXCEPT CALEB:
OVERTHROW THEM!
IRIS:
AND, IN TIME, WE CAN GROW
YOUTH EXCEPT CALEB:
TO OUTGROW THEM,
DANIEL:
EVEN THOUGH THEY’LL NEVER KNOW
ALL THE STORIES WE WILL WRITE WHEN WE ARE JUST ALLOWED TO BE!
YOUTH EXCEPT CALEB:
‘CAUSE WE ARE THE MUSIC.
LET THE MUSIC PLAY.
THEY ARE THE SILENCE LEADING US ASTRAY.
WE ARE TOMORROW FIGHTING FOR TODAY.
WE ARE THE MUSIC.
DON’T LET IT FADE AWAY!
‘CAUSE WE ARE THE MUSIC.
LET THE MUSIC PLAY.
THEY ARE THE SILENCE LEADING US ASTRAY.
WE ARE TOMORROW FIGHTING FOR TODAY.
WE ARE THE MUSIC.
DON’T LET IT FADE AWAY!
DON’T LET IT FADE AWAY!
