Pride

I am strong enough to face my demons tonight
‘Cause I am brave and can handle the fight
And I will not hide, will not lie, will not cry
For the devil will not define what I do with my life
And I from now on make up my mind
To take progressive strides in celebrating my Pride
(Live life with Pride!)
And I won’t conceal, won’t mislead, won’t deceive
For the holy spirit lies within me
I’ve got my hands up (‘Cause I’ve had enough)
Middle fingers up (Don't give a…)
Myself I love (I am enough)
I’ll live life with Pride (Live life with Pride!)
Hands up (‘Cause I’ve had enough)
Middle fingers up (Don't give a…)
Myself I love (I am enough)
I’ll live life with Pride (Live life with Pride!)
I am divinely made in His image, or so the Bible says
So I’ve no reason to even try to «pray the gay away»
Oh no, not today Satan!
Not today, not today!
I will not mind what the people claim, ‘cause I was born this way
So I needn’t die having lived a life filled with shame and pain
Oh no, not today Satan!
Not today, not today!
Hands up (‘Cause I’ve had enough)
Middle fingers up (Don't give a…)
Myself I love (I am enough)
I’ll live life with Pride (Live life with Pride!)
Hands up (‘Cause I’ve had enough)
Middle fingers up (Don't give a…)
Myself I love (I am enough)
I’ll live life with Pride (Live life with Pride!)
Oh Charlie
I know you’re unnerved
I know the truth hurts
But please be benign
(Stop lying)
Oh Charlie
I know you’re disturbed
Feeling submerged
But to yourself please be kind
(Stop lying)
Oh Charlie
Drink the serum
Take the elixir
For once, be honest sir
(Please, stop lying)
(Please, stop lying)
(Please, stop lying)
(Please, stop lying)
I’ve got my hands up (Cause I’ve had enough)
Middle fingers up (Don't give a…)
Myself I love (I am enough)
I’ll live life with Pride (Live life with Pride!)
Hands up (‘Cause I’ve had enough)
Middle fingers up (Don't give a…)
Myself I love (I am enough)
I’ll live life with Pride (Live life with Pride!)
So I earnestly affirm
I will face the world even if it hurts me
No I’m no longer perturbed
In this for the long term
This is my own journey
This is my own journey
This is my own journey
This is my own journey
This is my own journey
