You want to be happy and I do too So I live my life as I do to See us be free as we can be When we insist on being you and me A right considered a privilege by Those so afraid they would rather die Than live and love the way we do But I know what is up and so do you We would rather live than dance on a string We want to be free that is the thing We live and love all day and night We want to be happy and we are right I will do everything I can that we Be happy and that we will be free Though I am old and crazy now I know that we will be and I know how And so I will fight with all of my might For us being happy being free Then those afraid will have to see When we insist on being you and me Our insistence is our resistance of Fear by our persistence in living our love Steven Curtis Lance   Photo by Matt Vulcan
