47% of my brothers and sisters don't feel they belong
     Em                  G            C
It's heaven or hell with mom and dad, just tryna stay strong
     Em                      G
Just hide, cower, but it's a cry for help
C
19% don't wanna live out loud

So we hear 'bout them tryna tie a noose

         Em         G            C
"I could cut off my circulation, end my bitterness
   Em         G             C
Or cut off my hair so I can breathe in hopefulness
           Em            G                         C
I feel I'm stuck, wrong, trapped and they have the audacity to say

"It's just a phase"

She just wishes she felt loved

Not like putting up a fight
                   G                 C
If we could do something or change a thing to make it all better
Em          G                  C                                   Em G C
Not as many kids would feel forgotten and write their final letters

Or grow off my hair so I can breathe in hopefulness

"It's just a phase"

Leelah, Taylor, Zander, Jude
C
How many more do we have to lose?

These kids mean something
      C
Don't treat them as if they're nothing
Em                 G
Dear kids: please, try to stay strong
    C
The wait to being yourself, it ain't that long
