On a Sunday

Girls wear dresses
And their hair down long
If you wanna be pretty
Better follow along

The word they preach
Is Girls for boys
And Boys for girl
Any other is wrong

God loves everyone
That's what she believed
In that house she thought was home
It felt so lonely

She stood her ground on a Sunday
Hoping maybe one day she'd belong
She marched to church in suit and tie
Head shaved bald her chin held high
They told her no
They laid hands on her to save her
From the way that God had made her
Pray it away
She stood her ground on a Sunday
She's gonna be ok

She heard it so much
She starts to believe
Now she drops her hand
So nobody can see
She learned the shame
Apologies
Said I'm not the same
What's wrong with me
God loves everyone that's what she believed
In that house she thought was home it felt so lonely

She stood her ground on a Sunday
Hoping maybe one day she'd belong
She marched to church in suit and tie
Head shaved bald her chin held high
They told her no
They laid hands on her to save her
From the way that God had made her
Pray it away
She stood her ground on a Sunday
She's gonna be ok

So when I lose my way in the world
I remember that little girl
And I love a little harder
Hold her hand a little tighter
Love myself with forgiveness
I am strong cause I have lived this
I survive and I bear witness
I am brave cause I am different
Not ashamed don't need to fit in
I am love
I love and I deserve love

I stood my ground on a Sunday
Hoping maybe one day I'd belong
I marched to church in suit and tie
Head shaved bald my chin held high
I sang my song
They laid hands on me to save me
From the way that God had made me
Pray it away
I stood my ground on a Sunday
And I'm gonna be ok
