Orlando

Only when I’m dancing do I feel this free …

 

This one’s for the girls

Fierce

Fabulous

And forgotten

 

By those who think it takes royal blood to be a Queen

Those who don’t understand that true Pride is earned

Through jeers and judgment

 

This is for those whose love is a battlefield

And those who were there

When the beats turned to bullets

 

This is for those who are always on point

Those who slay

 

We want to remember you that way

Free

From the hatred and the fear

Still dancing
