I'm a human being, not a machine
I can dream, and achieve anything
I cried every night this week
For a man I'd never met
Never shed so many tears
Since I don't know when I forget
It's the same old story
With a different setting
Theater school church or club
How many til enough's enough
Beings, human beings
Your life bares the same
Currency as mine
I shed as many tears
Gay or straight black or white
Beings, human beings
We can dream, and achieve anything
Cll we want is to be free
Free to shape our reality
Free from the fear of being
But someone's out there paying the price
What the hell do I know about sacrifice?
It doesn't seem insane
To treat us all the same
We move closer day by day
In spite of what the naysayers nay
The pen trumps the gun
When we stand as one
Someday we'll overcome
Cs we rewrite all our wrongs
Cll we want is to be free
Free to shape our reality
Free from the fear of being
But someone's out there paying the price
What the hell do I know about sacrifice?
We are part of a whole
I am because of you
This is bigger than us
This is something new
May take generations
But we'll get there in the end
Rich poor gay or straight
Black or white hand in hand
Hand in hand
Hand in hand
Hand in hand
Hand in hand
Hand in hand
