Will I be a mother, or will I always be a child?
Does someone come and say hey girl it's your time?
What if I'm dancing and I don't hear the door knock
And some cold caller decides I'm not
Ready to change
What if my body is but my mind remains the same?

Will I be a mother, or will I always be a child?
Does someone come and say your time has arrived?
What if I'm sleeping and I don't wake with the clock
And I sleep right through it
and some kind of God decides I'm not
Ready to change
What if my mind is but my body won't take to the stage?

Are you alright?
I have to see
Oh my sweet sister
You've always been braver than me

What if my love is but I'm not ready to be?
I'm willing to change, oh it's not just me he's also afraid
