What I Am, Queer - The Irrepressibles
- written & composed by Jamie Irrepressible

As a teen I felt alone no-one to understand aloneness that I felt
As a teen I felt alone no-one could understand aloneness that I felt
Made to feel afraid of what’s real
Made to feel afraid of what’s real
But we were was queer! We were led to fear all the colour in the night!

Don’t expect me to apologise! Who I am is painted in the skies! You think I’m wrong? I know I’m right! but through love we'll all make it.
Don’t expect me to apologise! Who I am is painted in the skies! You think I’m wrong? I know I’m right! but through love we'll all make it.
There’s a life and it’s waiting for you, there’s a time that you won’t feel shame, from all their lies & all their chains, you’ll liberate you! you’ll liberate you!

We stand with all the men who can’t express their love.
All of women fighting against the oppression from men
All the queers who can’t express their truth
And everyone who’s afraid of rejection for being themselves
It’s time! time that we all see
That freedom is everyone, every colour be free
It’s time! Time! That we all see
That freedom is for everyone!
