[Intro]
From the beginning, I knew my truth was inside
A journey of soul, no need to hide
Turning pain into strength, now I finally see
Living my life, just being me
[Verse 1]
Since I was young, I felt a call
A voice inside that I couldn't ignore at all
Tried to hide, tried to deny
But deep inside, I knew I’d fly
In high school, I was scared and shy
Kept my secret, afraid to cry
Told the world it was just a phase
But the truth was written in my ways
[Pre-Chorus]
Time moved on, I found my way
Through storms and fears, I didn’t stray
Love came along, I thought I’d hide
But love can’t drown what I feel inside
[Chorus]
Now I’m shining, free and true
Living loud and being you
No more shadows, no more doubt
This is what my life’s about
Standing here, proud and tall
Embracing who I am after all
Girl or boy, I’m just me
Finally finally free
[Verse 2]
With my ex-wife, I kept a secret deep
Feared a world who’d judge and weep
Told her I was gender fluid, tried to hide
But honesty’s what I can’t deny
Now I’m alone, but I feel alive
Living my truth with a joyful cry
Friends around, no judge, just love
Celebrating life’s the sweetest gift from above
[Pre-Chorus]
Every step, I’ve found my light
Breaking chains and taking flight
Love is love, and I am free
The best of me is what you see
[Chorus]
Now I’m shining, free and true
Living loud and being you
No more shadows, no more doubt
This is what my life’s about
Standing here, proud and tall
Embracing who I am after all
Girl or boy, I’m just me
Finally finally free
[Bridge]
It’s a new dawn, a brighter day
No more hiding, come what may
Celebrate my identity
Living fully, honestly
[Outro]
With my friends, I’m complete
No more fear, just joy to meet
Living as I’ve always known
Happy, whole, and fully grown
