lyrics
Well we're a long way from the Stonewall Inn
I'm standintg on this platform, no one's stopping me to sing
But there's a multitude of sins can hide behind your hashtag
Tell me again how love wins
Well there's nothing new about this rage
It's a war that's always waged
Like how no one bats an eye that when fifty of us die
And it doesn't even make the Daily Mail front page
Well sometimes, it's like an uphill climb
Yeah sometimes, it's like an uphill climb
But I'm right by your side
And that's what we call pride
And I know you don't want to face the fact
That each and every day we're still being attacked
And sometimes it's by guns, and sometimes it's by words
And sometimes it's by the North Carolina Bathroom Act
And we're the same as everyone
We're all under the same sun
But if you're trying to suggest this is just about the West
We've spent our whole lives looking down the barrel of that gun
And the love we have each other
Will defeat the hate we suffer
You're my sisters, brothers, and all that's in between
And if everything that I'm made of
Was fashioned by your God above
It was Him that gave this kind of love to me
And that's why we need pride
I'm standintg on this platform, no one's stopping me to sing
But there's a multitude of sins can hide behind your hashtag
Tell me again how love wins
Well there's nothing new about this rage
It's a war that's always waged
Like how no one bats an eye that when fifty of us die
And it doesn't even make the Daily Mail front page
Well sometimes, it's like an uphill climb
Yeah sometimes, it's like an uphill climb
But I'm right by your side
And that's what we call pride
And I know you don't want to face the fact
That each and every day we're still being attacked
And sometimes it's by guns, and sometimes it's by words
And sometimes it's by the North Carolina Bathroom Act
And we're the same as everyone
We're all under the same sun
But if you're trying to suggest this is just about the West
We've spent our whole lives looking down the barrel of that gun
And the love we have each other
Will defeat the hate we suffer
You're my sisters, brothers, and all that's in between
And if everything that I'm made of
Was fashioned by your God above
It was Him that gave this kind of love to me
And that's why we need pride

This has been a hard year as a social worker I recognise that I am not facing the reality of the saving of lives and I despair at how the government have treated our nhs people. I have been responding to the needs and crisis faced by children and young people in care . Carers with health vulnerability with challenging teens who won’t follow the rules- risks there create anxiety, carers of children who have been abused and traumatised- limited services - songs like this keep me going thanks
