Before I came to be
They dreamed a son for family
But fate had different plans for me
A girl with a boy’s name you see
I was raised just like a boy
Climbing trees was my joy
Football games I’d deploy
Made my slingshot as a toy
Mud felt balls but never aimed
At birds that flew so unrestrained
I was the girl they didn’t plan
Living life outside the can
Running free just like the wind
A story only I could spin
My childhood was not the same
Dressed in blue not pink or flame
Learned to fight and play the game
In their eyes I was a tame
Mud felt balls but never aimed
At birds that flew so unrestrained
I was the girl they didn’t plan
Living life outside the can
Running free just like the wind
A story only I could spin
Mud felt balls but never aimed
At birds that flew so unrestrained
I was the girl they didn’t plan
Living life outside the can
Running free just like the wind
A story only I could spin
