JEFF HOLLAND
FREAK

I don’t like the way they look at me

All those people preaching their hatred
Uh, It’s been a while that I am standing

This life in silence on this carousel 

No matter the color of your skin or who you love
I've endured all these years being strong

And don’t let me impose all your truths on me

I'm so tired of shutting myself up, darling 

And I'll just keep on living, living
The way I want to live, live 

We are all the same when we breathe

I'm not a freak

In a society that can’t stand still

We are animals being stoned all the time
Without rights before them

They say we need to be healed as if we were sick

And every time a voice is lost, yeah 

Why do you condemn me for loving another man? 

We are treated like monsters, freaks

Are our prayers being heard?
Lord give us strength

No matter the color of your skin or who you love

I've endured all these years being strong

And don’t let me impose all your truths on me

I'm so tired of shutting myself up, darling 

And I'll just keep on living, living
The way I want to live, live 

We are all the same when we breathe

I'm not a freak

Oh, no one can change their essence

Oh, Even if you wanted to be someone else

Oohh, some will tell you it's a choice

But you were born this way

You are not an aberration, no

And I'll just keep on living, living
The way I want to live, live 

We are all the same when we breathe

I'm not a freak
