Cause mom said
I'd be crossing borders
Never be afraid even
when you're cornered
Stand up straight, fight your way

          •••

All these people here
staring and looking at me
Shaking their heads
eyes down strong on me
What's wrong with me?
Can you tell me now?
          •••

The anger, the cruelty, I deserve it
And I'd do anything to
be what they call perfect
Then maybe I could find
a place to call my own and belong
But if only I was strong
