Hope you enjoy this little original song I wrote. It's basically about being born in a certain way, while people keep expecting you to change.

LYRICS:
I look into the night,
Hoping I might see a light,
That'll tell me everything's alright,
That I can win this fight.

But when I look up,
All I see
Is the darkness staring
Back at me.

You call me damnation.
I must pray for salvation.
I'm broken, you say.
That's not okay with me.
You steal the air I'm breathing.
I don't want your believing,
Want to stand on my own
And prove you wrong.

Maybe I was born this way.
Maybe He can take it away.
But I've learned to love this fate.
It's what makes me
The person I am today.

But when I look up,
All I see
Is the darkness staring
Back at me.

You call me damnation.
Should I pray for salvation?
I'm broken, you say.
But that's okay with me.
It's free air I'm breathing.
I don't need your believing,
Need to stand on my own
And prove you wrong.

I don't need your prayers,
Don't want to hear you naysayers.
I can win this war on my own.
It's my life, and mine alone.

Even though I look up,
And all I see
Is the darkness staring
Back at me.

Though you call me damnation.
I won't pray fro salvation.
I'm broken, you say.
But that's okay with me.
It's free air I'm breathing.
I don't need your believing.
I can stand on my own
Watch me prove you wrong.
