I am a woman, a man and a child
I am a human, I’m living, I’m wild
The world that I’m living in
Is chaos and fire
Hate is a ruler
And I do not admire
The rules are complicit
Divisive, armed with ire
Admonished and hampered
Because I don’t look the same
I don’t do the same
And they are all fighting
Because we’re not the same
I am a woman, a man and a child
I am a human, I’m hurting, I’m wild
The world that we’re living in
Is burnt down by Pain
Diversity slashed in the throat
To spread Hate
To love is to sin
To hate is virtuous
My spirit is broken
Because I don’t see the same
I don’t hear the same
And they are all fighting
Because we’re not the same
I am a woman, a man and a child
I am a human, I’m hoping, I’m wild
The world we are leaving
For the next of our kin
Is tarnished and shambled
Broken with sin
Fixing the raptures
Is an endless employment
My heart is bleeding
Because I don’t feel the same
I don’t judge the same
And they are all fighting
Because we’re not the same
But I am a woman, a man and a child
I am a human, I’m breathing, I’m wild
You are a woman, a man and a child
You are a human, you’re living your life
Why would I judge you for not living the same?
Why would I hurt you for not being the same?
I am a woman, a man and a child
I am a human, I’m praying, I’m wild
You are a woman, a man and a child
You are a human, you’re ruling your life
Why should you be this angry at me?
Just because I don’t see like you see
Why can’t I live, because I’m human like you?
