Bound now, but not Forever


Bound now, but not forever In this vessel I once called me Betraying my soul whenever Mocked by society Liberation will come Her touch is all I seek With a kiss so powerful Her lips will set me free Liberation will come But why for me? Because I am not special No better than he or she Liberation will come Her kiss so tender, so sweet I welcome her presence Despite societal controversy Liberation will come She will come to set me free And when she does, I will not be afraid Afraid to be me Liberation will come How I have longed for us to meet With her knowledgeable mindset What more could one need Liberation will come She will come to set me free Free from the bonds The bonds of conformity Libetation, she came Showing us its not a choice Whether girls like girls Or whether girls like boys Bound now, but not forever For my love will rescue me Because we share the same mind, the same soul The love of eternity
