Welcome To Earth


Hello, welcome to earth

Where every organism has come from some sort birth

Some kind of creation, entering this “new” world,

All born with the same amount of worth.

We are raised the same and yet all so different,

We learn to eat, drink and train in the ways we were given

Unique at heart and everything that we do

But for some reason, also criticized in the ways we've risen.

Let me take it back to when I was a kid

I had a lot of energy and gave my all in everything that I did

Always smiling and playing and having fun

Until my peers beat me down and out till I hide.

Now I’m not the only one who's experienced this pain

There are other victims in the world, even my sisters been through the same,

It's not right, and I can't take to sit by and watch

People have even taken their lives, their souls, their very names.

But we can stop it.

We together can rise up and get out of this pit

We are the solution to the problem

And we can help others by supporting each other.

Eachother is the solution.

We are same and yet we are different.

We have been through stuff everyone else couldn’t

We are strong and able to push through

Welcome to Earth, where we fight for our difference.
