They know now
They know me
All else gone
They know me

It's always awkward to tell your parents
Who you really are
What you believe and how you act
How you will chase your own star

A double sided coin
That's what my life has been
But now the mask is gone
And now anew I can begin

Religion is mine to discover
No longer forced upon me
Choices are mine to make
Is it worth it to be free?

I have to be true to myself
I must live a brand new life
But how do I do this as well
As saving my parents from Strife?

Can this be avoided?
The heartache that they feel?
Or is this just the way it is
And accept this all as real

I love my independence
More than words can say
But how am I to have true peace
If all my parents feel is dismay

I love freedom, I love them
But is it one or the other
Or is there a bridge inbetween
Between my life and mother...
