[Verse 1]
They stare at my hair
Then stare a little lower
Counting all the ways
I don’t fit their order
Sidewalk courtroom
Every step a trial
I bite my tongue
Then I start to smile
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t get to name me
You don’t get to claim me
Every scar
Every star
On this skin
I made it
[Chorus]
My body
My choice
My life
These are our human rights (hey!)
You don’t own my joy
My time
We decide how we shine
Our future
Our voice
Our fight
Screaming in neon bright
My body
My choice
My life
These are our human rights
[Verse 2]
Lip gloss
Bruises
Both of them are real
Messages at midnight
“Are you sure you feel…?”
I’ve heard all the rumors
Thrown like little knives
Still I paint my eyelids
With another sunrise
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t get to break me
You don’t get to save me
Every tear
Every cheer
On this road
I paved it
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Hands up if they called you “too much” (too much!)
Hands up if they tried to erase your touch
We’re not your lesson
Not your debate
We’re here
We’re loud
We’re done with “wait”
[Bridge]
I am not your secret
I am not your phase
I’m a living answer
To the fear you chase
[low vocal register]
When I say “me”
I mean “we” behind me
[crescendo]
Every color
Every name
All of us
Rising
[Chorus]
