Save my place

I wonder what's on the other side

Is Leelah in a place she no longer must hide

Will there some day be room there left for me

A place I can shine and be totally free

 

To those who try to hold us down

And keep us from wearing our own unique crown

Shame on you for the pain you bring

To the struggling souls whose only wish is to sing
