I’m not going to tell you
If I’m a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, queer or straight
Instead I’m just going to create love
To take over all the hate
Our sexual orientation is no longer a debate
We all belong as one
It’s called the human race
To me, all the colours in the rainbow
Combine to look so beautiful
Representing each and everyone of us being alive
Pride not only being shown in parades and festivals
But now, it’s on display everyday
And it’s here to stay
Gone are the days of black and white
We now invite the bright colours and lights
To ignite our faith and passion
As we share our strength with the nation
This is my dream
And it might seem extreme
To believe love can conquer all hate
But I do know
Nobody will ever dictate
The beautiful colours I can create.
