Hold my hand and feel the energy
flowing from my heart, it's set free
to flood your spirit with my power
be present at this moment happily
for this is our time, this is our hour.

I don't pay heed to what they'll say
if they don't like it please turn away
haters always looking for a chance
rain on our parade every damn day
let nothing dampen our romance.

Let them cast sour looks and scorn
don't let ignorance ruin this morn
they always find fault or preach ill
been saying it since you were born
you started to resent it, had your fill.

Skin tone too this, sexuality too that
too hairy, too dumb, personality flat
endless rebukes cost you confidence
they raise your anger like a thermostat
it doesn't compute, it makes no sense.

Fuck what they say and do to you
you're with me and none of it's true
I see only someone I wish I could be
and my opinion holds the most value
believe in this, you're beautiful to me!
