lyrics

“I’m a trans kid!” a voice exclaimed with joy.
I turned around to be greeted by a smiling boy.
He had a trans pride flag draped across his back
and he pointed at my “Protect Trans Kids” patch.

If you could see this boy’s glow
Laws would never ban any rainbow
The gay agenda isn’t wild.
We want trans youth to survive being a child.

Florida is us.
Florida is all of us.
Florida needs to be safe.
We need Florida safe for us.

Florida is us.
Florida is all of us.
Florida needs to be safe.
We need Florida safe for us.

Trans youth should never live in fear
Trans people have always been here
We’ll stand up for our human rights
Winning trans liberation in every fight.

It’s time we stop the elephants in the room
By giving discrimination no space to bloom
Putting a hard stop on this abuse of power
Love always wins even in the eleventh hour.

We need Georgia, Texas, and Tennessee.
We stand in solidarity with our Trans family
We see you and are inspired by Appalachia
Together, we can, have, and will move any mountains.

It’s okay if you don’t understand being trans
that’s no reason for legislation bans
We respect your right to be you
that’s all trans children want too.

Kids know who they are from an early age
And knowing who you are in your heart is no phase
Being true to one’s self shouldn’t ever invoke rage
Stop using religion to assign gender to a binary cage.

Trans youth shine brighter than all the stars
Being true to themselves even when it causes scars
Gender euphoria is beautiful and not aberrant
All kids need their love to be transparent.

Parents love their youth.
Unconditionally supporting their truth.
Even if that means moving to a safe state
To find a new home, free from hate.
Parents love their youth.
Unconditionally affirming their truth.

Florida is us.
America is all of us.
We need America to be safe.
We need America safe for us.

Florida is us.
America is all of us.
We need America to be safe.
We need America safe for us.

It’s America’s duty to rise, unite, and resist.
Persisting until we can peacefully coexist
Abolishing transmisia with a raised fist.
Protecting trans kids as we’re glad you exist.
