My Flame
Turn around, face me
let me look into your eye, tell you what I see
You need something to believe
They've left you behind
Treated you like you weren't their kind
So I'm here to make you shine
I've helped you before overcome the odds
To get away from everyone take my flame it does the job
Equality is what you're lookin for
My flame will give you everything and more
You've looked to different remedies
Religion, Culture, even Family
But all you needed to do was look to me
People's words acan hurt and have killed
I'll be that shield
Shield you from those bullies
Fight to have you live perfectly
It sounds like a lot
But it's not, its what Im willing to do to get you to the top
To see you with that spark again
Makes me feeli accomplished, That I helped my best friend.
