Honest World

When I was 19 I broke up with my first girlfriend
Because of a guy down the hall who was a Christian
He said I look at you, I can see you dont wanna lie
But if you stay with her, your whole life youre gonna have to hide.
And I believed him so I let her go
And I cried my eyes out in my room alone
He would come by with the Bible until I shut the door
And decided I wasnt gonna lie to myself anymore

Some day well all be free
I can feel it, its our destiny
Some day, I believe
Love will make an honest world for me

It took a long time to find you
I knew right away I was gonna wanna spend my life with you
We took our wedding vows, had our wedding night
We had everything, except the legal right
So we jumped the broom like plantation slaves would do
Cause they couldnt marry under the masters rules

Some day well all be free
I can feel it, its our destiny
Some day, theyll see the truth
and I will make an honest woman of you

Theres a baby being born somewhere in the world
Whos gonna need us as much as were gonna need her
We will board the plane and were gonna bring her home
Thats how well make a little family of our own
But the documents will leave off one of our names
Like one of us cut right from the picture frame

Some day well all be free
I can feel it, its our destiny
Some day, I trust
Love will make an honest world for us
And today, I believe
Love has made an honest woman of me.
