Equal

words & music by denise marsa
When I was young I thought I could do anything
Growing up, I tried to hold on to my innocence
Dazed and confused by the hateful words I heard
Can’t people see the miracle in our differences?

We must stand tall
We will not go away
They will embrace us
For we are equal
We are all equal

When you were young did people push you around?
Did you grow up thinking you had to defend yourself with a white picket fence?
Did you sit at your window gazing at the world?
Wondering if you would ever fit in

We must stand tall
We will not go away
They will embrace us
For we are equal
We are all equal

There comes a time in every life when what people say doesn’t matter
Look at what history teaches us…a change is gonna come

We must stand tall
We will not go away
You will embrace us
For we are equal
We are all equal
