Born This Way!

For those of you living in a cave, or are just too busy with your college workload then you may not be aware that Lady Gaga just released her first single titled "Born this Way" from her much anticipated new album. And if you are in that cave swamped with work and haven't found the time to listen to this new wonderful delicious song by Mama Monster then you are missing out, because this song is unlike any other she has put out. Usually it is Gaga's videos that make statements (ahem Alejandro) but this time it is her actual song. Just listen to the lyrics... 

Don't be drag, just be a queen
Whether you're broke or evergreen
You're black, white, beige, chola descent
You're lebanese, you're orient
Whether life's disabilities
Left you outcast, bullied or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
'Cause baby, you were born this way 
 


Now it is quite obvious that this song references the gays, which are some of her most avid fans, but the song isn't just for them. The lyrics speak to everyone and anyone who has ever felt like they don't belong. And that's great because people don't hear it enough that they are perfect the way they are and as Gaga says, "Just love yourself and you are set."

Thank you Gaga for not only making a song we can all dance to but a song we can sing and gain empowerment from (seems to be quite the trend this year, P!nk and Katy Perry also came out with empowerment songs). I'm totally for it!
