Choriza May - Burn A Little Brighter

{Verse}
All these voices getting too loud
Say everything about me's wrong
Words like poison, couldn't avoid them
All I could do was run
When I look in the mirror, I see the kid I used to be
And I wanna tell him, "You'll be fine, you're not the only one"
They say we belong in Hell
So we might as well

{Chorus}
Let them hate us, let them shake us
Let them try to bring us down
Let them see you living your truth
Let the music drown them out
We got this far, and we're still fighting for who wе are
But they won't change us, thеy won't break us
So throw us to the fire, we'll burn a little brighter

{Verse}
Only getting stronger, only getting louder
Ready for a life that's mine
No apologizing, no more hiding
Now it's my time to shine
People who are just like me have become my family
When it gets rough, we pull each other up
Say, "Everything will be alright"
They say we belong in Hell
So we might as well

{Chorus}
Let them hate us, let them shake us
Let them try to bring us down
Let them see you living your truth
Let the music drown them out
We got this far, and we're still fighting for who we are
But they won't change us, they won't break us
So throw us to the fire, we'll burn a little brighter
We'll burn a little brighter

{Interlude}
Stop using tradition to justify hate
Stop using religion as a mask
Stop rejecting fears and misery
Onto those who have chosen to break free from their own
Enough empty "love is love" quotes that sugarcoat our existence
We will go to the streets and scream
"Stop the abuse, stop the shame, stop killing us"
For those who were, for those are
And for those who will be
We will keep on shining
Our light will inspire and lead the way for others to find their path
We will walk out of the darkness into the shimmering glow
Of truth and love
Be loud, be proud
Burn bright

{Chorus}
Let them hate us, let them shake us
Let them try to bring us down
Let them see you living your truth
Let the music drown them out
We got this far, and we're still fighting for who we are
But they won't change us, they won't break us
So throw us to the fire, we'll burn a little brighter
We'll burn a little brighter
We'll burn a little brighter
