Kay Jay Olson - Bonus Track: Begins with Me (Alternate Take)

How do I start
Where do I begin
The world needs me now
And I'm paralyzed within
My fear of what waits outside

And I know, I know, I know
That change is gonna come
And I know, I know, I know
That I can be someone who
Fights to see the world through different eyes
Dig deep into my soul
To change what I believe inside
If I seek to stand up and fight
A warrior, a true ally
The change begins with me

No, that's not right
That's just not me
I don't see color
Okay, okay, let's break that down
Take some time and realize
We've work to do here you and me

And I know, I know, I know
That change is gonna come
And I know, I know, I know
That I can be someone who
Fights to see the world through different eyes
Dig deep into my soul
To change what I believe inside
If I seek to stand up and fight
A warrior, a true ally
The change begins with me

If I wanna see the world change
(Internalized homophobia, transphobia)
Then it has to start with me
If I truly believe myself to be an ally
Then I have to start dismantling the racism inside me
How can I hold other people accountable
If I don't start holding myself accountable
The change begins with me

And I know, I know, I know
That change is gonna come
And I know, I know, I know
That I can be someone who
Fights to see the world through different eyes
Dig deep into my soul
To change what I believe inside
If I seek to stand up and fight
A warrior, a true ally
The change begins with me

With me
With me
With me
