Lord knows 
 Dreams are hard to follow 
 But don't let anyone 
 Tear them away 
 Hold on 
 There will be tomorrow 
 In time you'll find the way 
 And then a hero comes along 
 With the strength to carry on 
 And you cast your fears aside 
 And you know you can survive 
 So when you feel like hope is gone 
 Look inside you and be strong 
 And you'll finally see the truth 
 That a hero lies in you

 and I make it through the rain.

My father identified as a black man. No one asked him because he was clearly black. But people always ask me. If we were together, people would look at us in a really strange way. It sucked. As a little girl I had blond hair and they'd look at me, look at him, and be disgusted.
