Out.

 

Out of the closet

out in the day

out for the people

that are merry and gay.

 

Out in the chains

that still hold me down

not out for the people

that will surely frown

 

Out for myself

out for her too

not out for the people

that want something new

 

Out to be loved

not out to be hated

not out for the people

that say I've been baited.

 

Out in the sunlight

out not alone

out so I can be

at peace to the bone.
