I was never one for rebellion, Going against the rules was never my thing I didn’t get a kick out of making trouble Or starting controversy. But I learned from a young age to stand up for what’s right Those were your words, your teachings And as I stand for the things I’ve learned, and the things I love I wonder where you are. I remember when I was introduced to a man who loved the World Do you remember leading me there? You told me he forgave even the largest sins And he could see into my heart. Now I am standing here alone Representing a lifestyle I call my own. And though I know you don’t agree, What happened to the one who supported me? The one who told me “God is love.” But I guess love is only for a few A chosen breed, Chosen by you. I stand here now, unafraid Knowing all my sins are saved. And who told you love could be a sin? Will you ever love me again? You may see me as a monstrosity, But I am built by your teachings Composed of the lessons you taught my young heart We see the World differently, But you gave me my start.

I Am the Man You Taught Me To Be
I was never one for rebellion, Going against the rules was never my thing I didn’t get a kick out of making trouble Or starting controversy.

I remember when I was introduced to a man who loved the World Do you remember leading me there? You told me he forgave even the largest sins And he could see into my heart.
