I Was A Boy

Didn’t you know
I was a boy
Before you came
I was a boy
Didn’t you know
Before you came
Didn’t you know
I was my own
Before you came
I was my own
Didn’t you know
Before you came
I was a boy
I was a boy
Before you came
It didn’t show
I was a boy
Before you came
I was a boy
It didn’t show
Before you came
Yes I was a sire
Before the fire
Before your work
I was a boy
I was a boy
Then I was your girl
Yes I was a sire (I was undiscovered)
Before the fire
Before your work
I was a boy (My best friend was my brother)
I was a boy
Then I was your girl
I was born a sailor
Dream what I was made of I was a boy
I was a boy
Before your work
I was born a soldier
The sea rolled past my shoulder
I ruled land and water
Unlike no one’s daughter
I was a boy
I was a boy
Before your work
I was undiscovered
My best friend was my brother
I was a boy
I was a boy
Before your work
I was born a sailor
Dream what I was made of I was born a soldier
The sea rolled past my shoulder
I ruled land and water
And my best friend was my brother
