There will be a time when we can stand,
Across this settle land.
We will stand and be proud of who we are.
Our eyes will shine as bright as the forgotten star.
We are gay and can now say it,
without the fear of being put in a hate pit.
Your words are mean and more hurtful than you know.
From every word we fall quicker than the snow.
We must act and must change.
Extinguish all this rage.
If we don't it'll be to late,
and we will all fall victim to this horrible fate...
