The Answer Is Always The Same

[Verse 1] Four years old in Grandma’s arms, In ribbons and lace, I found my calm. The world was loud, but she made it still, And I learned what it meant to feel. A little boy in borrowed grace, Dreaming of another face — The mirror whispered in gentle flame, The answer is always the same. [Verse 2] Then came the years of silence and walls, Trading truth for schoolyard halls. I wore the mask, I played the part, But she still lived inside my heart. At night I’d dream of satin sleeves, And wake to find they’d turned to leaves. Still the question burned like a name — The answer is always the same. [Chorus] Yes, I want to be her, I’ve wanted it all my days, Through every dawn and every maze. When the world says no, my soul proclaims — The answer is always the same. [Verse 3] Years rolled on, I wore a ring, Tried to be the man she dreamed I’d bring. But in her closet late at night, I borrowed pieces of my light. I told myself it was just pretend, But the pretending never ends. In every joy, in every shame — The answer is always the same. [Bridge] Weekends came, and she returned, Lessons lived, lessons learned. The world still turns, the heart still calls, And I keep dancing through it all. [Final Chorus] Now the years have silvered my hair, But the girl I was is still right there. Each morning when I speak my name, The answer is always the same. Yes, I want to live my truth, unchained — The answer is always the same.
