LYRICS
I heard it, a mocking bird
In the morning light sun
You told me the words that they were singing out
That they had made it out
In the dark we were brave
Took a spark to create
Our own light our own fate our own sound
And they’ve tried every day
To make us the mistake
But it gave us the strength to stand out
We made it through the night
I can’t explain it but I wouldn’t change it
We sing cause we made it
We made it through the night
No one can erase us
We’re here and we’re staying
We sing cause we made it
We made it through the night
What a relief, us finding our wings
After everything that we have waited out
Something to sing about
So we’re proud and we paint
And we shout our own names
With our fists and our heels and our gowns
And they’ve tried every way
To make us the mistake
But it gave us the strength to find out
We made it through the night
I can’t explain it but I wouldn’t change it
We sing cause we made it
We made it through the night
No one can erase us
We’re here and we’re staying
We sing cause we made it
We made it through the night
There’s a magic coming down
There’s a light above us now
Shapeshifting in the sound
In defense of my difference
I like that I’m like this
Not trying to fight this
Something to sing about
Something to sing about
Something to sing about
