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 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 (for today)

    for me, antony's songs aren't especially about the lyrics, but about how he manipulates them with his voice. the words to this song seem really simple when you read them, but when you hear him SING them, that's when they feel powerful.
