Lyrics

She was missing on the night they found her on the trails Her family in distress, over what might have been But when the cops showed up, it was but all too late She had been murdered in cold blood, in dark mud Left to rot like all of the other girls, the killer caught But judged to be incapable He was to live in asylum after what he had done No ruling to punish the man for all the lives he took No justice, no campaign to revise The laws that would harm the people that he had so dеspised When the world had failеd them, they fell back But the hearts of the proud could not be easily cracked We are people We are We are Don't kill me for my gender I want to see a better day From the start of our pride, we have seen better times From the start of time We are people He was surrounded by some men when he became the victim Cold and ruthless to his pleas they assaulted him Lying on the street he wondered when the pain would end Knowing he would finish off what they'd already started Even now society will finish us off If we don't conform to them, or obey their rules Yet they think that our wars done, and we've won But the truth is the farthest from a happy ending All this time we have fought for our right to live And we know there's been change, and that we've come this far The pride of us is a fierce cry of life and defiance Not just a flag with pretty colors in the light of day We are people We are We are Don't kill me for my gender I want to see a better day From the start of our pride, we have seen better times From the start of time We are people How far we've come How much we've evolved They will not separate us now Back in our roots we won't forget you now Our pride won't break, we will not let you down How far we've come How much we've evolved They will not separate us now Back in our roots we won't forget you now Our pride won't break, we will not let you down How far we've come How much we've evolved They will not separate us now Back in our roots we won't forget you now Our pride won't break, we will not let you down Don't kill me for my gender I want to see a better day From the start of our pride, we have seen better times From the start of time We are people We are people We are people
