[Verse 1: Ryan]
Define me with all your words
Then find me a lesson to be learned
Try to brand me or burn me and I won't let it hurt me
[Jo]
Define me as what I am
Then try me as just a simple man
I'm no harm to you, I'm just doing the best I can
[Ryan]
And if I'm defined by what I do
Then what am I supposed to call you?
The shadow of a broken past you abused?
[Jo]
And if I can stand on my two feet
I'll break the wall where we will meet
I'll document our combination for you
[Chorus: Ryan]
We're starting this party tonight
Where people will be undefined
And love who they want, when the judgment is done
And won't have to hide
[Jo]
We're starting this party right now
Where people can shake off their doubts
And send out their love as it moves through the crowd
And people can shout
[Ryan and Jo]
That they love a man
Or they love a woman
And no one will be judged for love
And I can't be judged for who I am
[Verse 2: Ryan and Jo]
Define me with broad clichés
But I won't undergo any hate for a stranger's mistakes
I've struggled through the boundaries of society's needs
And now I'm not tryin' to please
It's freeing
Define me as God's child
I am human and we're all in the wild
This Earth is as much mine as yours in the end
So let's unite as friends
But if I can lie in nature's bed
Without the roses killing me dead
I think the Earth has got a point
And we're a moving joint
And if I can say my prayers at night
I think I'm doing something right
Let's open up a song of safety
And carry through the night
[Chorus: Ryan and Jo]
We're starting this party tonight
Where people will be undefined
And love who they want, when the judgment is done
And won't have to hide
We're starting this party right here
Where people will shake off fears
And mass tolerance is replaced with resistance
And everyone cheers
That they love a man (That they love a man)
Or they love a woman (Or they love a woman)
And no one will be judged for love
And I can't be judged for who I am
That they love a man (We're starting this party tonight)
Or they love a woman (Where people will be undefined)
And no one will be judged for love (And love who they want)
And I can't be judged for who I am
