Wrong and Right

They called your side of the train tracks the "wrong side"

Mine the "right side"

Poked fun of how you were born

As if you could change the way you breathed

It was like asking someone to blend in or fade away

No real choice

You either get to be nothing

or nothing

That you're not accepted

Because of the way your life turned out to be 

Out of the millions of people you could've been

You're you

And that's not enough

Well my dear

When the world is collapsing 

And danger runs through the streets like wild animals

And every 

last

breath

counts

They'll look you in the eyes

See who you are

Who you've always been

And realize

We all bleed the same
