Grant us some time. Give us courage to look inside. A gesture of good faith After years of living a lie. It felt like we were at war but there was nothing at stake. Blood was drawn all the same.

Secrets and lies For those we used to isolize Lay ruin to our true belief Left us bitter and betrayed. Trust in me as you once did And I will treat it with the greatest care. Our restored equality As a testament to hopes and dreams. It felt like we were at war but there was nothing at stake. Lines were drawn all the same As we fought to finde our balance
