You are hereBorn a Boy
Born a Boy
Born a Boy
Dare to Dream
The two of us had promised we would keep no secrets,
And that everything about us would be true.
I was terrified to open up and bare my soul.
Please know I never meant to keep a thing from you.
But then you told me once again it didn't matter;
Somehow I found it hard to hold onto that word.
And then suddenly you said the one thing that I needed to know…
The sweetest thing that I had ever heard!
I know that you were born a boy, but what does it matter
When you're the girl with whom I fell in love?
You're so special to me; my heart is in your hands
And I'm so blessed to say that you're my precious dove!
Oh so worried I would have no words to say;
Filled with guilt and with shame and with overwhelming fear
That you just might decide to walk away.
(Bridge)

You know that I was born a boy, and it doesn't matter
and I feel blessed beyond what words could ever say,
you found value in me, more than I could ever see
and you've touched my heart in each and every way.
Once again I cried myself to sleep last night,and I feel blessed beyond what words could ever say,
you found value in me, more than I could ever see
and you've touched my heart in each and every way.
Oh so worried I would have no words to say;
Filled with guilt and with shame and with overwhelming fear
That you just might decide to walk away.
(Bridge)
But then you reached across the gulf that separated us,
And with gentle hands you wiped away my tears.
I had lost all faith in me;
But now suddenly I see…
That this love of yours just washed away my fears!
You knew that I was born a boy, and it didn't matter;
You told the world that I'm your precious dove.
That I'm so special to you; my heart is in your hands;
And I'm so blessed to know that I'm the girl you love.

Yes I was born a boy, and it doesn't matter;
