Cracked phone screen I scroll through the doubt
Half-eaten cereal nobody threw out
Mirror says maybe they got it right
Fading jeans hugging just a little too tight
Heart keeps tapping but I push it down
Can’t breathe
Can’t speak
Can’t be
What they need
We were born this way
Let em talk let em say what they wanna say
I got fire in my veins and it burns the same
Every whisper every stare bouncing off my name
Born this way
Ain’t no changing the colors inside the frame
Let the whole world spin I’ma stake my claim
We were born this way
Dad said stop dreaming get a real life plan
Mom just nodded with her shaking hands
Kicked down posters left the holes in the wall
Started doubting every step every fall
Then I heard a voice that sounded just like me
Stand tall
Don’t crawl
Your flaws
Say it all
We were born this way
Let em talk let em say what they wanna say
I got fire in my veins and it burns the same
Every whisper every stare bouncing off my name
Born this way
Ain’t no changing the colors inside the frame
Let the whole world spin I’ma stake my claim
We were born this way
I stopped running from the noise in my head
Built a stage where the silence was dead
Turned the volume up louder than fear
Now the only thing ringing here is crystal clear
Born this way
Let the thunder roll I’ma stay
Let em throw the stones I’ma catch the wave
We were born this way
Born this way
Every scar every crack yeah they paved the lane
Watch me light it up I’m a living flame
We were born this way
