Antony And The Johnsons - For Today I Am A Boy Lyrics






One day I'll grow up, I'll be a beautiful woman
One day I'll grow up, I'll be a beautiful girl
One day I'll grow up, I'll be a beautiful woman
One day I'll grow up, I'll be a beautiful girl

But for today I am a child
For today I am a boy
For today I am a child
For today I am a boy

One day I'll grow up, I'll feel the power in me
One day I'll grow up, of this I'm sure
One day I'll grow up, I know a womb within me
One day I'll grow up, feel it full and pure

But for today I am a child
For today I am a boy
For today I am a child
For today I am a boy

For today I am a child
For today I am a boy
For today I am a child
For today I am a boy

(For today) For today I am a child
(For today) For today I am a boy
(For today) For today I am a child
(For today) For today I am a boy

Antony And The Johnsons For Today I Am A Boy Comments
  1. D.... &....

    Just watched Animal Factory again a couple nights ago. I love that movie. I don't know if it got very good reviews upon release but I hope it did something for this band....like the live song by White Hills in Only Lovers Left Alive..another great movie.

  2. p.... ....

    fuck, this hits way too hard

    im a trans dude, and this song somehow describes exactly how i felt about my gender before i came out or even knew i were trans.... (with genders reversed, of course)

    oh my god

  3. W.... H....

    Dysphoria: The Song

  4. A.... K....

    🌸💖🌸

  5. A.... V....

    Tales of the city😍😍

  6. M.... ....

    Tales of the City ✌

  7. O.... R....

    You're already a beautiful woman. You always were and always will be.

  8. K.... R....

    I got chills

  9. B.... ....

    An anthem to all trans girls out there.

  10. M.... C....

    as much as I love his singing...self-acceptance is crucial, if you are a boy biologically that means you as a soul intended to be a boy..it's no accident..
    and it's also seeing that it's ok and one can still be hetero sexual AND have feelings..everyone being honest with oneself has feelings, male and female alike..;

    self-acceptance comes with learning to love oneself, to embrace oneself, wholly as one is, that is wholesome self-love...Bless
    (p.s. for those who would argue about self-love is good: it means to have love towards oneself (instead of anything less than that or numbness, for example - self-love brings self-respect, and self-love enables one to be in touch, through own insight upon oneself with what another human being may need..)

    M.... C....

    I understand where you are coming from, but what if a person has a mental illness and needs medical attention? In simplistic form, that is essentially what being transgender is. I, and many others, suffer from gemder dysphoria which plagues our day to day lives and cannot be fixed with just self-love. I have handled this for years now, waiting for a day where i can transition.

    M.... C....

    You said "biologically" and "soul" in the same sentence, which to me shows that the soul is a construct of biology, and a soul can decide what it wants to be, as a person. Right now medically, things aren't perfect, but we have a responsibility to love people as people and not as a gender. If it's not your wife, it's not your business, so work on accepting people and not speaking out against people you'll never need to know.

    Love and Light - Jordan.

  11. O.... Y....

    whoever gave a thumbs down to this song is garbage.

  12. G.... E....

  20. R.... B....

    Dedicated to all the transphobic parents of North Carolina.

  21. C.... B....

    Masterful, beautiful, brilliant.
    A song for all who were not allowed and supported in living as their true selves, early, when they first knew.
    This song wrecks me every time.

    C.... B....

    youre right! I can't me be my self i am new a girl but want to be a boy! Only ma parent's and some friends knows!

    C.... B....

    Jeric Verfaillie hey, i just wanted to say I remember what it felt like to be where you are right now. The “one day” will come. Today I spent an hour looking for popular music with Bass singers, because that’s my vocal range now. Today, I open my mouth and no one mistakes me for anything but what I am.

  22. S.... A....

    One day I'll grow up, and be a beautiful woman, One day I'll grow up feeling full and pure. I love being a woman. Even though I've had a pretty rough run, I'd rather be a woman. I have a big womanly heart and good woman friends and I feel free to cry.

  23. C.... B....

    this may be the penultimate thing I have been looking for

  24. J.... J....
