Welcome to Earth

Welcome to Earth this is your body
Though all made of stars you say I'm mostly from Mars
That it flows through my veins makes me brave
And explains why my anger turns sometimes to rage

You say you want me to grow into a man
But you know what they say about best laid plans
Cause what's received from the messages sent
Don't always turn out in the way that they're meant

You tell me to be strong and I'm learning weaknesses are wrong
You tell me "stand and fight" and I learn
My body as a weapon makes things right
I see tears that never flow shoulders that never bow
With the weight of the world and so and so I grow
I see tears that never flow shoulders that never bow
With the weight of the world and so and so I grow

But if I want to be a dancer
Or fall in love with a guy
Would you come to my recitals?
Would you stand by my side?
Or if I don't like getting dirty
Or wear unfamiliar clothes
Would you see me as your failure?
Or hold me in just as close

Good thing I don't want to be a dancer
I've got crushes on all the girls
I like getting my hands dirty
I wear all the comfortable boy clothes
So I never have to worry
Or wonder if your love will go
This way I can still feel grateful
For your love that feels unconditional

I see tears that never flow shoulders that never bow
With the weight of the world
And so and so I grow
