City lights Don’t see me But I’m here Still breathing They told me I don’t fit the frame Different clothes, different name Eyes judge before they know Social class defines the role In the mirror I try to stand But the world won’t take my hand I shut the door, I mute the sound Just to keep my feet on ground If I hide, it’s just to heal This cold world don’t know what’s real Hear my heart, it beats so loud Even broken, I stand proud I’m out of the system But I’m not wrong If I’m alone, it’s protection I’m still strong I’m out of the system Don’t belong to their plan I was born to be different I’ll rise, I’ll stand Oh-oh-oh Out of the system Oh-oh-oh Still alive Fear of laughter, fear of eyes Fear to love, fear of lies Who never heard a “you don’t fit”? Cast the first stone, admit In the silence I became More than numbers, more than names Being different’s not a crime It’s evolution over time If I hide, it’s just to breathe Not escape, just to believe When the drop begins to rise You will hear my voice tonight I’m out of the system But I’m not wrong If I’m alone, it’s protection I’m still strong I’m out of the system Don’t belong to their plan I was born to be different I’ll rise, I’ll stand If you feel alone tonight You’re not alone We are more than they decide
