define me

define me with all your words

then find me a lesson to be learned

you can brand me or burn me and i won't let it hurt me

define me as what i am

then try me as just a simple man

i'm no harm to you

i'm just doing the best i can

and if i'm defined by what i do

then what am i supposed to call you

the shadow of a broken past you abused

and if i can stand on my two feet

i'll break the wall where we will meet

i'll document our combination for you

we're starting this party tonight

where people will be undefined

and love who they want

when the judgment is done

and won't have to hide

we're starting this party right now

where people can shake off their doubts

and send out their love as it moves through the crowd

and people can shout

that they love a man

or they love a woman

and no one will be judged for love

and i can't be judged for who i am

define me with broad cliches

but i won't undergo any hate for a stranger's mistakes

i've struggled through the boundaries of society's needs

and now i'm not trying to please

it's freeing

define me as god's child

i am human and we're all in the wild

this earth is as much mine as yours in the end

so let's unite as friends

but if i can lie in nature's bed

without the roses killing me dead

i think the earth has got a point

and we're a moving joint

and if i can say my prayers at night

i think i'm doing something right

let's open up a song of safety

and carry through the night

we're starting this party tonight

where people will be undefined

and love who they want

when the judgment is done

and won't have to hide

we're starting this party right here

where people will shake off fears

and mass tolerance is replaced with resistance

and everyone cheers

that they love a man

or they love a woman

and no one will be judged for love

and i can't be judged for who i am

that they love a man

or they love a woman

and no one will be judged for love

and i can't be judged for who i am
