Standing on the precipice But I refuse to fall I was born into this But I don't understand it at all How can I break away From my own family? Do I not have a say When defining my identity? All they know Is how to torment and condemn And all I know Is that I won't be one of them RUNNING AWAY FAR FROM THE PLACE THAT'S NOT MY HOME BUT I AM NOT ALONE HE IS BY MY SIDE WE'RE THE OUTCASTS WE'RE THE REJECTS I THINK IT'S TIME WE EARNED A LITTLE RESPECT WE WON'T BE SILENCED AND WE WON'T BE NULLIFIED They had the power But they did not comprehend We worked together But I would not call them friends How can I walk away from My own family? She's lost in another world, And I gotta set her free All she knows is The darkness of control And all I know Is I must free her soul I can't keep RUNNING AWAY FAR FROM THE PLACE THAT'S NOT MY HOME BUT I AM NOT ALONE HE IS BY MY SIDE WE'RE THE OUTCASTS WE'RE THE REJECTS I THINK IT'S TIME WE EARNED A LITTLE RESPECT WE WON'T BE SILENCED AND WE WON'T BE NULLIFIED Mother I forgive you Will you forgive me for RUNNING AWAY FAR FROM THE PLACE THAT'S NOT MY HOME BUT I AM NOT ALONE HE IS BY MY SIDE WE'RE THE OUTCASTS WE'RE THE REJECTS I THINK IT'S TIME WE EARNED A LITTLE RESPECT WE WON'T BE SILENCED AND WE WON'T BE NULLIFIED
