Born To Be

The mighty will fall and the weak will run

When the wall of forgiveness comes tumbling down
Humbled they will be when the conquerors arrive
And once surrendered they are lost for eternity
To the will of the heartless
Amnesty is out of the question for to let go is forbidden
And the merciless tyrants will have none of that.
Hold up your heads and quiver no more
Do not turn away or retreat in humiliation
By standing together in our misfortune
However small and meek
We the ones who no longer abide
By the rules set forth to restrict freedoms rights for all
Win back our hearts and lose the shackles
That bind us to self-righteousness
Unite my band of brothers and sisters
Unto the last of you to be blamed ridiculed or defiled
For opposing the injustice of hatred and bigotry
No one carries our torch or lights the way out of mindless shame
Except those who have been disqualified
Cast out or told that we were not allowed
because we think, act, or look different
You know who you are and from where I speak
Of why we must be steadfast and fear not
On this putrid field of disparity
Forever bound by diversity we wear the tarnished badge boldly
Worn to signify to the oppressor of our right to be the individual
That we were born to be
