So I wrote this song about growing up Gay I'm 24 so it wasn't as accepted as it is today and I think it's important for other people to know they aren't alone when growing up different to societies typical norms. The verses are rapped and the chorus is sung and written by Ruth B.
Verse One:
Ever since I can remember I've been one on my own,
Never seemed to really fit in and I felt so alone,
All the boys would play sports, I would play with my dolls,
Dad and brother would watch sports, I would play with my dolls,
Was told who I am is wrong, Never felt that I belonged,
Wasn't who they thought I'd be, Think they was embarrassed of me,
So I would change and hide myself away,
For a long time I was never really me,
I lost a lot of life being who I'll never be,
Can't believe there was a time, I would take my own life,
Such a battle within me and no end I could see,
Cause I never saw a way to be who I am today,
I'm proud of who I am, I'm proud of being gay,
You'll never take me light or make me feel ashamed,
I know I maybe different and lost still maybe,
But I can finally breath and I'll forever be free.
Chorus:
I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the Woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
Run run lost boy, they say to me
Away from all of reality
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
Verse 2:
My friends dint understand, though they offer their hands,
It was a war within me that I hid so greatly,
So I wave by to this town that never loved me,
Got dreams and adventures that no one could believe,
Sat in my room writing songs on my own,
Thinking bout the past and how much I have grown,
Feels so good to be awake and so good to be free,
Good to say I wouldn't want to be anyone but me.
