Hope

(mmmmm-hmmmmm) The biggest thing stopping me isn't fear

It's the family I hold so dear

I haven't told them,

I don't know the way

Scared of the words that they might say

Why should I wait to feel at home?

Why live a life that isn't my own?

This is my body,

my skin, my frame

I'm the one who carries this name

I've lived with this feeling for most of my life

Wondering why I was born into strife

For the first time I see a light shine through

I have a chance to be someone true

(to be true)

Carried these thoughts since I was a kid

Hiding the truths that I always kept hid

I'm not asking you to choose my path

But I need your hand to face the aftermath

Does it sound like I'm finally listening now?

To the voice inside that is showing me how?

I'm nervous of what comes next,

of the pain But I feel hope running through my veins (hope!)

I have a chance To become the person I've always been inside

(always been inside)
