We often allow confrontation To be the reason we don't believe It's hard enough to hold onto faith Without having enough to defend it And it feels like the more I make an effort to see the good To see past these borders Allowing our minds to be set free But we cannot be confined (And I was on your side, but you left me behind) But we cannot be confined to one way of thinking We will not be silenced for believing In something other than what you want us to We are who we are for a reason It never crossed our minds To be anything like you Staring back at the face of the world And it feels like the more I make an effort to see the good As these smiles fade Then we begin to see Past this painted face Past this painted face (And I was on your side, but you left me behind) But we cannot be confined to one way of thinking We will not be silenced for believing In something other than what you want us to We are who we are for a reason Sing songs they'll remember for years As we conquer these fears For those who were once here And one day they'll remember what was And they'll do it because; they'll do it because Because We are here to stay
