The Outcast - Upon A Burning Body

Stop letting critics be your rudder and make your own way

No matter what you achieve they try to take it away

Go

This one’s for the black sheep, the bullied, the ones like me

To the divergent, the outcast

I want you to scream with me

We won’t listen to the pointless words you say

About how we aren’t the same

We are the ones who will change the world today

Tirelessly, we break society’s chains that bind us to hate

The pain and sorrow wilt away

And from it blooms a brand new day

Free — I can feel the sun looking down on me

Feeling like no one ever gave you a chance

They judge too fast, brand you the outcast

I used to be just like you

Hated the thought of getting bullied at school

Insecure about the color of my skin

So sad I just wanted to fit in

Terrified of going home most nights

A broken home, this can’t be right

The pain and sorrow wilt away

And from it blooms a brand new day

Free — I can feel the sun looking down on me

Remember it’s never too late to believe in yourself

Rules are made to be broken

Doors can be slammed shut but they can also be opened

Inspire someone, walk through the fire for someone

Rebuild the good we have lost with the odds against us

Push through at any cost

The pain and sorrow wilt away

And from it blooms a brand new day

Free — I can feel the sun looking down on me (x2)

Inspire someone, walk through the fire for someone

Rebuild the good we have lost with the odds against us

Push through at any cost
