lyrics

You’ve come into your own
Like no one could imagine
A choice you made yourself
No celebrity, no fashion
A glass about to break
The shell around your heart
Now you have the choice
The map, the means, the chart

How hard to find an answer
That can free you like a song
How hard to tend a body
In which you do not belong
The calling of your true self
The calling of your heart
Now you have the choice
The map, the means, the chart

Sometimes we are born into the wrong place and time
Sometimes it’s as simple as gender
It isn’t ever simple and wrong can still be right
And the heart should always be tender

I fell into a family that has
Love as its back door
And it’s always swinging wide
For the richest and the poor
There’s room for any shape or size
There’s room for every heart
And you have a choice
A map, a means, a chart

Sometimes we are born into the wrong place and time
Sometimes it’s as simple as gender
It isn’t ever simple and wrong can still be right
And the heart should always be tender

The challenge is acceptance
In each and every hour
No matter what the package
No matter where the power
The toughest transition is
To open up our hearts
But we have the choice
The map, the means, the chart

Sometimes we can step into the right place and time
Sometimes it’s no longer the pretender
Still, It isn’t ever simple and wrong can still be right
And the heart should always be tender
