about

Written about a "trans" friend of ours. These were things she told us. She very much wanted people to know about her world.

lyrics

Lillian's World

Lillian was someone
Nobody else could see
A person she was trying to set free
There's places you can go
Where your family will never follow
That's just one thing to know
From Lillian's world

Lillian picks her dress up off the floor
She does her face and steps outside the door
Lillian has her world and her rules that she must follow
But Lillian's truth is truth that won't ring hollow
Boys will be boys
Girls will be girls
Men may be man-woman
In Lillian's world

Lillian picks her friends
Wherever she can find them
She's learned to make her friends all know her truth
When a man decides
To be full-time man woman
That's lonliness you can't know
That's Lillian's world

Lillian weeds her way
Across her summer garden
She thinks about a friend that she just met
She says that she respects
Folks who stand beside her
When you stand there you can't hide
from Lillian's world

Chorus

Bridge:
You could say she chose the world she lives in
Lillian might quietly agree
For that's the man she is, but both of you'd be wrong
Her choices would never come to you or me

Lillian's seen her world
Turning upside down
Her family's asked her not to come around
She's lost so many jobs
That she can't give you numbers
Nothing's unencumbered
In Lillian's world

Chorus
