Now that the stakes
Are trans genocide
I've been holding
My head high
Determined to stay
In the calmness past fear
Somehow certain
I'll know what to do
The terror is shifting quickly
Under my feet
A quicksand that is
Pulling me down
But I'm fighting to float
In the calmness past fear
Trying to believe
I'll know what to do
Queer history is not just a nightmare
It is also the source of my pride
My world's turning into a nightmare
But somehow I've been chasing my dreams
And breathing into
The calmness past fear
Feeling certain
I'll know what to do
