I hear their voices, whispered as pleasure A song of no, let us be I hold out my heart, can't they see how it's beating? We are the same, you and me Say I will keep you safe, I will create a space shy of their hate Free from their name, if they cast you aside Then I'll be your home, tonight Is it the shade of my skin that they fear? Let them be cruel, but let me be clear There's not a thing in this world they could do To keep me from you I come from those worlds, right past the rail tracks Places that they've never been Am I a symbol of all that they disdain? And all they see is wrong See I was born this proud, with both feet on the ground I'll raise my voice, I'll live this loud I will hold out my hands with no fear of misplans Is it the shade of my skin that they fear? Let them be cruel, but let me be clear There's not a thing in this world they could do To keep me from you I'll run and we'll run right together So what's left is in front of this weather So when the storms come, at least we're together For the now and then for the ever Is it the shade of my skin that they fear? Let them be cruel, but let me be clear There's not a thing in this world they could do To keep me from you Is it the shade of my skin that they fear? Let them be cruel, but let me be clear There's not a thing in this world they could do To keep me from you Thanks for watching!
