Lyrics: An inexpressible desire, A hidden love, forbidden fire; A whisper here, or there a glance, Hoping there could be a chance That if you knew the truth of me You still might cherish what you see. Behind my binding, in disguise, My truth lies, buried, fate denies; For I am not the boy I seem. So seldom have I dared to dream I’d leave my well of loneliness, My true identity confess. And so I raise this fervent prayer: Put an end to my despair! To gods and men I make this vow: I am reborn! My life begins now! Come out of the shadows and into the sun. Farewell to the daughter and welcome the son!
