"My favorite color is Black & the Rainbow"
Somewhere between Violet and Red
I was misinformed about influence
So colors never were On my charts
I saw pink as blue and green as yellow
Sometimes the black looked purple
Depending on the past hurdles
I used to think that being Gay was wrong
Remember the pain in my chest
Every time my church sang the song
"Red and yellow black and white they are precious in his sight"
Though what I was seeing left my broken heart in so much awe
At church on Sunday when I was fifteen
My Pastor tried to convince the church
That the transvestite would influence kids to choose not wise
As I didn't choose
I was thrown into this semi dark kinda life
Though I found my true colors
Looking into another color of the rainbow's eyes
