Lyrics
QUEER
I’m queer
You’re queer
We’re queer.
I’m queer
You’re queer
We’re queer
See us, with your arms open wide.
Ain’t no way we’re going to hide.
Won’t stop me being who I am
I’m proud and don’t give a dam.
I’m queer
You’re queer
We’re queer
You are gonna to have to find a whole new way,
‘Cause we’re all here to stay.
We dazzle brilliant, bold and bright
Like fire in the night.
I’m queer
You’re queer
We’re queer
It doesn’t matter how you want to be.
You don’t ever need to define me.
Stand together, take a bow
Shout it out, shout it loud..
I’m queer
You’re queer
We’re queer
Stand together, take a bow
Shout it out shout it loud
I’m queer
You’re queer
We’re queer
Repeat x 3
We’re queer!!
I’m queer
You’re queer
We’re queer.
I’m queer
You’re queer
We’re queer
See us, with your arms open wide.
Ain’t no way we’re going to hide.
Won’t stop me being who I am
I’m proud and don’t give a dam.
I’m queer
You’re queer
We’re queer
You are gonna to have to find a whole new way,
‘Cause we’re all here to stay.
We dazzle brilliant, bold and bright
Like fire in the night.
I’m queer
You’re queer
We’re queer
It doesn’t matter how you want to be.
You don’t ever need to define me.
Stand together, take a bow
Shout it out, shout it loud..
I’m queer
You’re queer
We’re queer
Stand together, take a bow
Shout it out shout it loud
I’m queer
You’re queer
We’re queer
Repeat x 3
We’re queer!!

Thank you for the feedback comments which echoed exactly how I would want the song to sound, ‘unapologetically bold and uplifting’.
The lower score in relation to imagery is interesting, I will give that some thought.
