Aaron Alon - This World (feat. Emma Hayden) Lyrics

I was raised on a diet of meat and mashed potatoes
Food that's boiled with little more than salt
Well, it's simple and it's bland
But with little else at hand
It's what we had and Lord, it wasn't anybody's fault
But one day, on a field trip, they had Indian cuisine
Though I was broke, my friends gave me a taste
And my eyes swelled with tears
From the spice and from the fears
Of the boiled meat and mashed potatoes I now knew I faced
This world is full of flavor and it's there for you to taste
Not to try it all would be a waste
In a world that's filled with color and with spice
Boiled meat and mashed potatoes won't suffice
Growing up, we only had the music that they played in church
And on TV, we had the football game
Then a sub, one fateful day, chose to show us a ballet
I took one look and knew I never would be quite the same
This world is full of wonders unlike anything you knew
Don't listen when they say they're not for you
In a world that's filled with movement and with art
I couldn't bear to live a world apart
And soon, I met some people who were not at all like me
They scared me, but they helped me realize
Since the folks the Lord has made
Come in every shape and shade
Who gives a flying f*ck what they all have between their thighs
This world is full of beauty and it's waiting to be chased
To never leave your doorstep is a waste
They say that Eve gets Adam and that Adam gets his Eve
But to think there's just two choices is naive
So, give me man and give me woman
Give me every other human
In every form and every single shade
I'm not man, I'm not woman
I'm not top or bottom, butch or femme; I'm me
And I am wonderfully made
