By default on the day we’re born

We’re labelled up as straight

That really puts the pressure on

If you find a same sex mate

There’s a fork up in the road ahead

I have to choose my way

Stay as I am and live a lie

Or come out that I'm gay

I have to tell my parents first

I don't know what to say

I’m not sure how they'll take to it

The fact I feel this way

They’re from a generation

Where the subject was taboo

Our little girls a lesbian

What are we going to do

I hope they don't get too upset

I’ll have to take that chance

I’m afraid this will not go away

I have to make a stance

I’ve been with her for months now

They must have seen the signs

All the things I've tried to hide

Please read between the lines

Dads a little old school

About this sort of thing

Not sure he’ll understand

Or like the way I swing

I got my mother on one side

And whispered in her ear

I’ve something I must tell you mum

As I wiped away a tear

I'm telling you my secret

You know how hard it's been

I don't want to be rejected

My heart is very keen

She turned around and smiled at me

I know it not a phase

I’ve known it for a long long time

Your heart’s been set ablaze

Both my parents understand

They support me all the way

There love for me has never changed

I love them more each day

So now its done the whole world knows

To come out was my choice

Open up your ears and listen out

And hear my hearts sweet voice
