Dedication 02:59
Tribute to those standing tall Who fought to write the truth and defend us all For each fist in the air So the tortured know somebody cares Gun barrel view For the right to speak, be our insurgency Showed what it takes To beat each injustice - all scales, all stakes Your spirit will drive my fight Your courage will be my light Your struggles teach me to cope Your survival feeds my hope Common like us Will and strength in ideas backed up with guts Neighbour next door Who called for help when her head hit the floor Our sisters and mothers Recognised the wrongs and kicked up a fuss Those whipped red raw Til you can’t see the skin they’re fighting for Your spirit will drive my fight Your courage will be my light Your struggles teach me to cope Your survival feeds my hope You lit this torch - In thanks I’ll throw it The dedication (In) Your spark, Our blaze (This is) My dedication (To) Your spark, Our blaze The dedication (In) Your spark, Our blaze (This is) My dedication (To) Your spark, Our blaze

My worst enemy The harshest judge, she sees all I see My worst enemy I close my eyes, she scowls back at me I know my strengths but still disdain As disapproving habits reign A feast served from my heart With no absolution - I starve We sever our own hands, they choke us down When we need them to lift up off the ground We sever our own hands, they choke us down Got to lift yourself back up from the ground Your own adversary You hear the truth but he overpowers Your own adversary Face him now - Don’t cower Betrayed by doubts and fears The self-made knives and spears Wars lost dreading failure Before you even sensed the danger To yourself, a danger Don’t stand in your way when you’re all you have We sever our own hands, they choke us down We need them to lift up off the ground We sever our own hands, they choke us down Got to lift yourself back up from the ground

Only One 02:12
Freedom from all expectation Free to reject your generalizations Free to live life for myself One of a kind because I’m no one else I set my own goals (I set my) I have my own hopes (I have my) This world is mine (world is mine) You’ve had your time Freedom from this cultural genocide Free to reject your homogenous lie Free to live renouncing apathy One of a kind because there’s only one (only one) only one (only one) me So tell me how Living your way will help me now? Constraint. Control Surrender your soul Leave mine to me Through my eyes I see It’s a stall Live deliberately or not at all No life at all I dance to my own drum (dance to my) To keep from going numb (I will try) This world is mine / World is mine You’ve had your time Just be you / Beautiful

Separate the church and hate Hearts rejected by the state When love’s illegal, we question why We support the structures that divide How can all be equal When some are denied Bias implied The rights of others aren’t at your expense It makes no sense You say, it hurts kids they raise As if nurture affects nature’s ways Child welfare is no excuse When queer fear is its own abuse Love is never wrong Don’t think that you can choose who belongs In a state of denial You call another’s love a curse Defending fake family values But just making them worse A message of intolerance Through propaganda of hate Teaching prejudice in place of love Is this the world you’d create? Denial is a thinker’s sin What do you really win? Love is never wrong Don’t think that you can choose who belongs Love is never wrong
