But I Had To Be A Boy
 
When I was three or maybe four
 I learned that wishes live next door
 In storybooks where dreams come true
 Where fairy dust can make you new
 A wand could change a frog to man
 A pumpkin turned into a grand old van
 So why I wondered couldn’t joy
 Turn me from a boy

There were stars to wish upon
 And candles you could blow
 And Santa came with anything
 That your heart could hold
 There were prayers you said at night
 To the God who hears each voice
 But He made me what I was
 And I had to be a boy

There was a girl who lived up the street
 Barefoot summers ribbons and heat
 She’d spin in dresses hair like gold
 While I watched her world unfold
 I told my mama I could try
 If you want a daughter I can comply
 She smiled and said with gentle joy
 God wants you to be a good boy

Still I dreamed of fairy wings
 And shoes that danced and songs to sing
 Of stories told where truth is kind
 Where what you feel is what you find
 But in this world of make believe
 I learned what I could not achieve
 No spell no wish no toy no ploy
 Could change the fact I was a boy

There were stars to wish upon
 And candles you could blow
 And Santa came with anything
 That your heart could hold
 But the magic never came for me
 At least not in that guise of joy

The girl I dreamed was born inside
 But outside I was the boy
