Liner Notes

#folk #acousticonetake #trans #singersongwriter #protest

@guitargabe said we had to write a song that was positive vibes only, which just so happened to coincide with a request one of my friends made to write a "Trans people are wonderful" protest song. This was such a joy to write.

Trans people are a gift to humanity and always have been. The tapestry of our society would be much dimmer and less interesting without them. It's more important now than ever to express our love and support for the communities that this administration is targeting.

Here's to trans survival, trans joy, and trans THRIVING.

Lyrics

You have always existed
No part of you is a mistake
Half the world’s got it twisted
But you were beautifully, beautifully made
Beautifully, beautifully made

You’re the constellations peering down from pitch black sky
You’re the celebration of every cell that keeps you alive
You’re the transformation of stardust into butterflies

And I know it’s true
No one compares to you
And we’re overdue
So step inside the light ‘cause it’s your turn to shine

You have always existed
Something chose you to be alive
In this timeline enlisted
So lift your head, open your eyes
Your beautiful, beautiful eyes

You’re as wild as horses running free across the plains
You’re as rare as dragons, we both know you can’t be tamed

And I know it’s true
No one compares to you
And we’re overdue
So step inside the light ‘cause it’s your turn to

Shine
Baby, you shine
Mmmm

You have always existed
You are beautifully, beautifully made

You’re the tide that follows no one but the moon
You are not alone
We stand with you

And I know it’s true
No one compares to you
And we’re overdue
So step inside the light ‘cause it’s your turn to shine
