Colors That Don’t Fade

Verse 1

They told me keep my voice down low,

hide the fire, never let it show.

But every scar became a spark,

painting constellations in the dark.

I learned my name can still survive,

through every storm that said “don’t shine.”

Now I wear my truth out loud,

like thunder wrapped inside the clouds.

Pre-Chorus

And I don’t need permission

to stand beneath this sky,

every broken piece of me

was born to come alive.

Chorus

These colors don’t fade when the night rolls in,

they dance through the cracks underneath my skin.

I am enough, I’ve always been,

no more hiding where I’ve been.

Hands together, hearts on fire,

lifting each other higher and higher.

This is love, this is freedom calling me,

this is pride, unapologetically. 🌈

Verse 2

For every voice that came before,

opening locked and rusted doors,

I carry echoes in my chest

of souls who fought so we’d exist.

And when the world says “shrink away,”

we build another brighter stage.

No shadow strong enough to steal

the way our fearless colors feel.

Bridge

We are midnight, we are gold,

stories finally being told.

Every heartbeat, every tear,

says we were always meant to be here.

Final Chorus

These colors won’t fade, they rise like dawn,

even after the darkest storm is gone.

We are the light we waited for,

stronger together than before.

Hands together, voices free,

singing who we’re meant to be.

This is hope, this is love endlessly,

this is pride, unapologetically me. ✨🏳️‍🌈
