Pride Songtext
von Grace Petrie

Well, we′re a long way from the Stonewall Inn
I'm standing on this platform, no one′s stopping me to sing
But there's a multitude of sins
That 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
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 wanna 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 yet, 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 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 the love we have each other
Will defeat the hate we suffer
You′re my sisters, brothers, and all that′s inbetween
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

But sometimes, it′s like an uphill climb
Yeah, sometimes, it's like an uphill climb
Oh, sometimes, it′s like an uphill climb
But I'm right by your side
Oh, I′m right by your side
And that's what we call pride
And that's why we need pride
