Color red, color blue, all caught up in a purple hue
Voting for policy not pretty faces
Supporting pro-life and green spaces
Don’t put me in a box…
Left wing, right wing, all sway from the same string
Hung upon the separation from state
Never discount the science of faith
Don’t put me in a box…
A-team, B-team, all stuck in the same scene
Forced choices ‘tween belonging and fights
Try choosing Jesus, gay pride and equal rights
Don’t put me in a box…
I scream, you scream, all chasing the American dream
If and when I’ve exhausted my voice
And given my life for God and choice
You can put me in a box.
