I never said I was right.
I never said I was wrong.
Who can claim right?
Who can claim wrong?
All I said was I want to be free,
I want to be me,
All I did was try to be me.
All I said,
All I did,
I did to be me.
Demon!
Devil!
Dog!
None of it is new,
To me.
All I have heard,
All I have seen,
All I have borne witness to,
Defines me.
You are the scum of our nation!
You are what is wrong with our country!
You are trash!
None of it is new,
To me.
They are afraid,
They are confused,
They are angry,
They see the devil where there is none.
So I say to them,
Am I on the wrong side of heaven?
Or the righteous side of hell?
So I say to them,
Is familiar hell better than unknown heaven?
All I have known,
All I have spoken to,
All who are gone now,
Are remembered by me.
I am defined by my actions,
I am defined by my intentions,
I am defined by what I do for the world.
By who I teach
By who I love
By who I help
By who I save
By who I give rise to.
No answer I am ever given is new,
To me.
They will know from my words
They will know from my actions
They will know from my voice
They will know from my body
They will know from my appearance.
That now,
Now they are on My Side of Heaven.
All I said is I want to be free,
I want to be me,
All I did is try to be me.
And this
This is new to me
