I was the boy with shoes too tight and ankles caught between the tides
I was the girl who wore a dress to Sunday school and that was it
I had a handkerchief that went around my neck
It wiped my tears, sweat my blood my innocence throughout the years
And now i'm not afraid
I've found a body, soul and mind that i can keep
And now i'm not afraid
I've learned to love it and to keep it all the same
I was a wave, a cloud, a cliff, a slow parade
Too short to speak
A lover with a heart of hide and seek
And now I know
It's tough to be an elephant tied to a wing
And now I'm not afraid
I found a love and they love me and now I'm not afraid
I found a love that's here to stay
