You’ve Got To Be Who You Are

Verse 1:

It makes no sense denying it

You can’t pray it away

They don’t recognize that

It’s OK to be gay

Verse 2:

People’s expectations

Projections of their fear

Try to redesign us

We tell them, they don’t hear

Chorus:

Love is risky always

But we know which way to go

Got to find and follow your own star

You’ve got to be who you are

Verse 3:

Their words are like a prison

Trying to lock us in

But our love is our freedom

In the end, love will win

Verse 4:

We rise above the hatred

With courage in our hearts

Together we’ll make changes

This is where it starts

Bridge:

Through the storm and through the pain

We’ll stand tall, we’ll remain

Every step we take, we claim

Our right to love, we’re not ashamed

Chorus:

Love is risky always

But we know which way to go

Got to find and follow your own star

You’ve got to be who you are

Love is risky always

But we know which way to go

Got to find and follow your own star

You’ve got to be who you are

You’ve got to be who you are
