Wrong and Right
They called your side of the train tracks the "wrong side"
Mine the "right side"
Poked fun of how you were born
As if you could change the way you breathed
It was like asking someone to blend in or fade away
No real choice
You either get to be nothing
or nothing
That you're not accepted
Because of the way your life turned out to be
Out of the millions of people you could've been
You're you
And that's not enough
Well my dear
When the world is collapsing
And danger runs through the streets like wild animals
And every
last
breath
counts
They'll look you in the eyes
See who you are
Who you've always been
And realize
We all bleed the same
