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
