Bilingual
I always felt very misunderstood
When everybody is walking in a single flat line
I have to walk diagonal
Classic schizophrenia
I signed up for this life before I got here
I chose all the challenges
I chose all the pain of my childhood
Then I thought that if I talked about real stuff
I could maybe one day be a songwriter
And feel those kind of emotions and not be afraid of pain
It's the connection that motivates me
I need to know that my pain is helping your pain
A long time ago I decided that no matter where I went
Or what I did with my life I was always gonna be very true to myself
I have always identified with people that struggle
Just being able to help people, that is the stuff that keeps me going
We all wanna be loved, we all want to be protected
We're all pink on the inside
We all bleed red, we all cry clear tears
We all put one foot in front of the other
We wanna have faith in our world
I'm trouble now
Yeah, trouble now
I'm trouble
Think a lot of women are afraid of the word feminism
And that's a shame
I'm not afraid to be a star woman
This is who you are, this is how you are born
I wish for women to stop apologizing, girl power
I'm grateful if I have kept one girl from feeling
Different or ugly or unempowered
You have to fight for rights, respect and love
Kindness and compassion
And you have to be willing to die for it
For all the strife and economic woes
And the world's religious intolerance, global warming
It boggles my mind that we are spending
Time, energy and money try to ban love
I don't want there be gay marriage
I just want there to be with happy marriage and lasting marriage
I think the human experience shouldn't be covered up
I think it should be lived out loud
I see in other people the truth that's happening
And I want them to feel comfortable being that
It felt transcendent
It felt like taking us into the music
The music alone has been keeping me going
I've owned and embraced. my integrity and
I feel like I still have a lot of fight left in me
We've been failed by our government
There's a lot of people that feel forgotten and invisible
And made to feel less than, unwanted and unloved
And it hurts my heart, makes me very angry
I will do everything I can to open people's hearts, ears, minds
'Cause I'm not going anywhere
I've seen change and I have to believe that change is possible
Because if I stop believing that, then it's just a little too much for me
So I have a pen and I write, I write about that

We are searchlights, we can see in the dark
We are rockets, pointed up at the stars
We are billions of beautiful hearts
And you sold us down the river too far
What about us?
What about all the times you said you had the answers?
What about us?
What about all the broken happy ever afters?
What about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
What about love? What about trust?
What about us?
We are problems that want to be solved
We are children that need to be loved
We were willing, we came when you called
But man, they fooled us, enough is enough, oh
What about us?
What about all the times you said you had the answers?
What about us?
What about all the broken happy ever afters?
Oh, what about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
Oh, what about love? What about trust?
What about us?
ย
Oh, what about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
What about love? What about trust?
What about us?
Sticks and stones, they may break these bones
But then I'll be ready, are you ready?
It's the start of us, waking up, come on
Are you ready? I'll be ready
I don't want control, I want to let go
Are you ready? I'll be ready
'Cause now it's time to let them know we are ready
What about us?
What about us?
What about all the times you said you had the answers?
So what about us?
What about all the broken happy ever afters?
Oh, what about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
Oh, what about love? What about trust?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
Thank you
