Louder than Hate

I was born this way
It's not a choice I made
Had to fight the mirror just to love my face
Had to fight the world just to take my place

Every whisper tried to break my skin
Every shadow said I couldn't win
But every scar became my flame
And now I'm louder than the hate

Every fall made me stronger
Every night made me brave
Now the truth is like a thunder
And it's echoing my name

I was born this way
Yeah, this is who I am
And I don't give a damn
If you don't understand
I was born this way
And I'm proud to say
You can throw your hate
But it won't make me change
I was born this way
Say it to my face
I don't care if you don't celebrate
I was born this way

Uh, uh
We were born

I am resistance, I am love
I am fire rising up above
You can try to push me to the ground
But my voice is louder than your doubt

No more fear inside my veins
No more hiding, no more chains
Every color in my soul
Now I'm finally in control

Every fall made me stronger
Every night made me brave
Now the truth is like a thunder
And it's echoing my name

I was born this way
Yeah, this is who I am
And I don't give a damn
If you don't understand
I was born this way
And I'm proud to say
You can throw your hate
But it won't make me change
I was born this way
Say it to my face
I don't care if you don't celebrate
I was born this way
