I was the boy with shoes too tight and ankles caught between the tides.
E D#m F#
I was the girl who wore a dress to Sunday school, and that was it.

I had a handkerchief that went around my neck.
E D#m F#
It wiped my tears, sweat, my blood, my innocence throughout the years.
F# E D#m
And now I'm not afraid.
F# E D#m
I've found a body, soul and mind that I can keep.
F# E D#m
And now I'm not afraid.
F# E D#m
I've learned to love it and to keep it all the same.

E D#m F#
I was a wave, a cloud, a cliff, a slow parade.

And now, I know it's tough to be an elephant tied to a wing.
F# E D#m
And now I'm not afraid.
F# E D#m
I found a love and they love me.
F# E D#m
And now I'm not afraid.
F# E D#m
I found a love that's here to stay.
