I had been trapped here for a million years
When I thought of moving
I got blocked by my fears
The world outside was scary
People acting so cold
Waited so long to change
That in the meantime I got old
Tried to get going but I broke down along the way
Tried to take action
Tried each and every day
This is my declaration of independence
Been meaning to do this for a mighty long time
But all my schemes and plans
Were never worth a single dime
Then I got myself ready
To transform what I'd been
It was not at all easy
But I looked deep down within
Moved to Chicago and then out to LA
Then I moved to Boston
Then I turned gay
Then I got married
Then I got divorced
None of this would've happened
If I hadn't changed course
