lyrics

Don’t you wanna be remembered?
Carve into a rock
“Queer history’s a bonfire”
I know we never ever will stop

I never asked to be here & yet here we are
Summit in my blood
I live in fear
What if everybody forgets us?

TERFS wanna ban me
Nazis wanna kill me
Your husband/wife, they wanna fuck me
Eternity
You won’t erase me

I know my name now
Remember me

Chorus
Shit I think that we’re really gonna make it
(They can) beat me, ban me, kill me
They’ll never destroy me
& I’m gonna live my life with no fear
& you gotta know we’ve always been here
Do ya hear?
I’m here
I’m queer
I’m not going anywhere

Feel like I’m falling
Or am I flying?

"Yours isn’t the burden of yesterday but the treasures of tomorrow

Yes,
I want to be remembered
I want to be treasured
I want to be etched into the fabric of time
Forever held in loving memory

No,
We will not be forgotten
We forge a path for others to follow
Each footstep is a life raft
And a prayer

Yes,
We have always been here
Our lives written in blood and bone
The ancestors summoned by our rage
We will be heard

No,
You are not falling my dear
You are as free as the wind
I can see you soar
lifted up high"
