We sang songs from underneath your shadow
The melody carries us to where we are now
The songs gave us hope when we couldn’t dream of a tomorrow
We had to find the strangest ways of holding on somehow
We used to cry
Under the shadow of your lies
And how we tried
To carry that weight as we moved about our lives
It was suffocating, debilitating
Alienating, Oftentimes humiliating
It left us with a craving
For a world worth saving
We sang songs with anyone who’d sing with us
More people knew the words than we had thought
The harmonies were harmonious
We had to bring it and it was brought
We used to dream
That one day we’d be
Above your doubt and we’d scream
We are free, finally
We are here We are whole
In the resolve we know our roles
