(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)
