Just take a look around you, what do you see?
Kids with feelings like you and me
You understand him, he’ll understand you
For you are him, and he is you

I don't want to be rejected
I don't want to be denied
Then it’s not my misfortune
That I’ve opened up your eyes

Freedom is given
Speak how you feel
I have no freedom
How do you feel?
They can lie to my face
But not to my heart
If we stand together
It will just be the start
