File:Rainbow - original song - dodie

hi! this is a song I wrote around the shame lgbtq+ people go through, and therefore the importance of “pride” and the rainbow and flags etc and just how needed and helpful it all is to combat that feeling.

lyrics!

I was brought up in a line But I seem to walk in circles it’s getting hard to navigate When every map was never made for me

I thought it would feel good To understand why I was different But my title just talks over me I never even asked to be this way

(chorus) But to say that i’m a rainbow To tell me that i’m bright When i’m so used to feeling wrong Well, it makes me feel all right

I didn’t think it fair I was not to be trusted How can I be proud of What a million people shout at me I’m not

So please step inside my soul I’d love to watch you gasp You’d understand in minutes Oh I’d like to think you’d miss it Cause so would I.

(chorus)
