Pave the Way - Sarah Bettens

I could have been her

More like a girl

But then again no

I’ve always known

As I watched

The girls in my class

Growing up fast

They never offered

I never asked

Did they feel alone like me?

Did they not know who to be?

And I’m not too blind to see

That I could change my ways

Or try to like the games they play

But I’m on my own anyway

So I might as well

Pave the way

I might as well

Pave the way

I didn’t belong

I had to be strong

Just like a boy

But not like a boy

And I’m so surprised to see

On the outside and naked

You’re just like me

And I’m not too blind to see

That I could change my ways

Or try to like the games they play

But I’m on my own anyway

So I might as well

Pave the way

I might as well

Pave the way

And I’ll wear my rainbow flag with pride

And if I have people I love on my side

I’m alright

I’m alright

So I might as well

Pave the way

I might as well

Pave the way

Pave the way

I might as well

Pave the way
