Millions of rivers and pines,
Mountains that touch the divine,
I found a path that is mine,
I'm ready and willing to climb.
Tell Mama I learned how to follow my freedom,
And Papa I learned how to play for keeps,
And God only knows how I'll live to see heaven,
But I know I'm willing to try, to try.
Back in the place I was born,
My body was looked on with scorn,
Nobody called me by name,
But I learned to live with the shame.
Tell Mama I learned how to follow my freedom,
And Papa I learned how to play for keeps,
And God only knows how I'll live to see heaven,
But I know I'm willing to try, to try.
