Son's journey in coming out as a gay male, and teaching people about acceptance

Lyrics

You Listened To Your Heart

I bet your Mama knew, when she first held you
That you'd smile right from the start.
But what she couldn't know, the feelings that would grow
That could have torn your soul apart.

But it never got that far, you've always know just who you are.

You listened to your heart, your soul, you were in control
Of all your dreams, and how to make them whole
You took a chance, learned to dance, weren't afraid to find romance, and help us learn to do our part
And listen to your heart.

Those days you were in school, the hurtful words were cruel.
The tears would flow right down your face.
Then you looked inside, and found that inner pride
To put those kids right in their place.

You always knew that you were right, you learned to teach without a fight.

You listened to your heart, your soul, you were in control
Of all your dreams, and how to make them whole
You took a chance, learned to dance, weren't afraid to find romance, and help us learn to do our part
And listen to your heart.


Now the years have passed and you're on your own.
Changing minds every day.
But there'll be times, when things are not so clear
And the answer's out of reach.

Just remember there's no need to fear.
Just practice what you preach.

And listen to your heart, your soul, you are in control
Of all your dreams, and how to make them whole
Take a chance, learn to dance, fall in love, find romance, "till death do you part.
And listen to your heart.
