| Toni with an "i" © Copyright George Papavgeris, May 2005 . 1.You checked in just this morning You're waiting in your room alone, White gown with the ties on the back. Not much there to distract you There's nobody that you can phone They'd only try to stop you But it's too late - there is no turning back. 2.Remember the confusion Just round the corner after school When little Jenny kissed you on the lips. You knew what was expected But you just stood there like a fool Unwilling bystander An actor who was handed the wrong script 3.The taunts and name-calling Were followed by the beatings soon. You did your best to take them in your stride. At home no one to help you, You might as well be from the moon. You closed the world around you And silently you nursed your wounded pride. 4.Then came the recognition Like bolt of lightning in the dark, That you were never different - just you. Inside your isolation You fanned to flames the little spark And planned your resurrection To find the happiness that you were due. 5.The years of pain followed As one by one the covers fell, Yet memories cut deeper than the knife. But now you had a purpose: That one day nobody could tell The lie you had been living And earn the prize of ordinary life. 6.So here you are now waiting, Your goal is almost within sight, A butterfly shedding its cocoon. You pass the time erasing The "Y" that was never right, And practicing your new name; The one that you'll be known by very soon. (Chorus): But now it's almost over For after this you will not have to lie Your dreams are coming true now Tomorrow you'll be Toni with an "i" |
