Celestial Birthright

We will not be chained to the pains of the past
We will not continue to shatter like glass
We will not be owned by our skeletons
We will persevere - we will overcome
We will stake our claim, striking into the soil
We will work hard and never take for granted the spoils
We will not be a slave to the days gone by
We are one with the sun and the moon and the sky

Take your soul - embrace what you know to be true
Dig a hole - cast aside the chains binding you
People try but you know they cannot hold us down
We are rightfully heirs and we will claim our crown
The misery that was inflicted once will die tonight
We are stronger than this pain - we live to fight
We will lift our fists and display our might
We will raise our voice - reclaim our birthright

We are kings
We are queens
Our lives are ours and we will not back down

Hands

Time flies when you have none
Hope dies when you need some
I will not beat around the bush
I plan to scream and fight and push - through
Stand tall - shake the skies
Closed fist - open minds
I will not wait around for anything
I will forge my own destiny

I have the answers I need inside me
My own eyes see clearly what my heart has tried to deny me
Broken lives, shattered hearts can be fixed
All I've got to do is extend my hands

Do you understand?
Extend your hands

Distance makes the pain fade
Existence - unafraid
I will recover all the shards
Of all these broken fragile hearts - love
Sew them back together
Keep beating forever
I will not keep another score
I will not fight this anymore

I have the answers that I need inside me
My own eyes see clearly what my heart has tried to deny me
Broken lives, shattered hearts can be fixed
All I've got to do is extend my hands

Do you understand?
Extend your hands

I can't plan for anything anymore
Life makes sure to alter my schedule
You can stand your own ground
Just don't forget about the x-factors
Broken pieces can be whole again
Broken friendships can restore within
Broken love can find its way back in
Broken things are fixed with broken hands

Just extend your hands
I dare you

Just extend your hands
