This one is for my sister, who is constantly getting a hard time for being a vegetarian. I think it’s a great lifestyle choice, and one I can hopefully adapt to.
‘Strength & Identity’
Fighting the same battles, everyday
Living by choices that she’s made
Existing under the voices somehow
Under the smallest of minds in this town
How does she live this?
I don’t know
How can they do this?
I don’t know
To someone they profess to love
This one who’s tried to rise above
All the painful words they say
And bigotry that they portray
(So I)
Pour out all of my respect
Admiration, try to protect the
Ever aware and developing mind she’s
Always on guard and defending inside
Chorus
Don’t ever give up, cause they’ll never take
The things that you value, make no mistake
Your strength is your (your strength is your)
Identity
Bridge
Your simple choice to never take,
Another life, make
Another heart break
They don’t understand you,
(but they!)
They won’t understand you
A never open dialogue
There are no words
That you can say
They don’t understand you,
(but they!)
They won’t understand you
After all the blood is spilled
You can live your life and know
It will never (it will never)
Stain your hands
