[Verse 1]
Sunday service
parking lot stares
Rainbow on my bumper
they pretend not to care
Holding her hand
like it’s some kind of crime
“Think of the children”
as if we ain’t someone’s child
[Chorus]
This country’s ours too
flag flies for me and you
Our hearts
our homes
our bodies on the line
Our love ain’t up for review
We’re breathing, bleeding, true
We’re done asking, “Is it alright?”
It’s our life
our bodies
our choices
our rights
[Verse 2]
Courtroom benches
hard as their tone
They argue my pronouns
like they bought my bones
Telling me “stranger”
who I know I’ve been
I won’t say “thank you”
for the skin that I live in
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
They point in the grocery line
Mama pulls her kid behind
But that child might grow up like me
and need to see
someone standing free
Head high at the county fair
boots dusty, rainbow hair
We’ve buried too many nights
to bow to their fright
[Chorus]
