This song finds Knox exploring his feminine side and addressing some his own hypocrisies about the way he perceives women.

[Chorus 1]
I wish that I could be
All the woman inside of me
And I wish that I could do
All the things that woman could do
[Verse 1]
And I don't feel I'd be
Any different from me
And I do not think I'd feel I was inferior
In fact, I think I'd like it
To see my sex as women see us
What a thing to feel and to experience
[Bridge 1]
But what if I should stay
That female way?
For the rest of all my years
Would my joy turn into fear?
[Verse 2]
Maybe I would find
It's not just a state of mind
But womankind in fact is held inferior
Could I handle all the pressure
Or pine for the oppressor role
Which keeps me where I am which is superior?
[Chorus 2]
But I still wish I could be
All the woman inside of me
Just to feel and just to see
All the things that woman means
Just to set that female free
I am her and she is me
