We Are Not Gonna Make It

OH!

He steps a shy foot into the room
He knows that this day's been long overdue
Now as the tears fall down her face
The pain is real and it's starting to show

She says again
We're not gonna make it (We're not gonna make it)
Until the lines that divide start to fade away
We're not gonna make it (We're not gonna make it)
Until the lines that divide start to fade away

And with a whisper she mumbles through
"I guess they just won't accept me and you"
They see a difference in skin
But I thought that love was always true
Who would have known?
That in a search for a parents love
Her happiness, no, was just not enough (Not enough)
She tries to keep it inside
But through these hopeless eyes the world is a lie

She says again
We're not gonna make it (We're not gonna make it)
Until the lines that divide start to fade away
We're not gonna make it (We're not gonna make it)
Until the lines that divide start to fade away
(I'll show you) Until the line starts to fade away
(I'll show you) Until the line starts to fade away
I know I can show you that I'm not afraid
NO! (Because tomorrow will come)
You know I'm not afraid
(And we will no longer run)
You know I'm not afraid
(Because tomorrow will come)
And I am not afraid, not afraid

We're not gonna make it
Until the lines that divide start to fade away
We're not gonna make it
Until the lines that divide start to fade away
We're not gonna make it (We're not gonna make it)
Until the lines that divide start to fade away
We're not gonna make it (We're not gonna make it)
Until the lines that divide start to fade away
(I'll show you) The line starts to fade away
(I'll show you) The line starts to fade away
(I'll show you) This line starts to fade
It all starts to fade
It all starts to fade away

OH!
