I have a vision of my future
one I’m not sure could ever come true
A vision where the world won’t judge
the love I share with you
A vision of my future
where I could have the guts
To hold your hand in public
Hold each other on the bus
I wish that I could find a place
where I will not be shamed
For gazing in your pretty eyes
that lack in any pain
I wish we could get married
without hearing a complaint
And no one thought twice of our lives and we were normal, plain
But as we walk the sidewalk
most people stare and gawk
As though we are a freak show
or evil they must stop
I only want to love you
Without living in fear
I wish that I could say “I do”
and keep my lovers near

I have a vision of my future
one I’m not sure could ever come true
A vision where the world won’t judge
the love I share with you
A vision of my future
where I could have the guts
To hold your hand in public
Hold each other on the bus
I wish that I could find a place
where I will not be shamed
For gazing in your pretty eyes
that lack in any pain
I wish we could get married
without hearing a complaint
And no one thought twice of our lives and we were normal, plain
But as we walk the sidewalk
most people stare and gawk
As though we are a freak show
or evil they must stop
I only want to love you
Without living in fear
I wish that I could say “I do”
and keep my lovers near
Just some thoughts that can apply to multiple situations.
