Catie Curtis 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 don't wanna lie
But if you stay with her, your whole life
You're 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 wasn't gonna lie to myself anymore
Some day we'll all be free
I can feel it, it's 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 couldn't marry under the master's rules
Some day we'll all be free
I can feel it, it's our destiny
Some day, they'll see the truth
And I will make an honest woman of you
There's a baby being born somewhere in the world
Who's gonna need us as much as we're gonna need her
We will board the plane and we're gonna bring her home
That's how we'll 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 we'll all be free
I can feel it, it's 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
