All they wanted

was to be free

To not be haunted

by those between the trees

Those who would not accept

even during the darkest nights

When all they did was wept

 

Now we stand our ground

Firmly and full of pride

Not caring who's around

Because we have nothing to hide

And so we open our hands out wide,

Helping those, who need a guide

Stand your ground, and don't ever think anyone is better than you, or that you are better than them, because we're all just equal people trying to get through.

&quot;You&#039;ve got to learn to move on, because life will move on. If you don&#039;t move on, you&#039;ll just end up in over your head.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Never regret anything because at the time, it was exactly what you wanted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We accept the love we think we deserve.&quot;
