This is my body, it's okay to look
I'm tired of hiding it away
I want people to see
This is the real me
I'm also quite proud to be gay
This is my body, it's okay for me to show it
I'm doing so now while I'm young
There will come a day
When I'm old and grey
I'll be glad that I had so much fun
This is my body, I like to be naked
Then I swim and I splash and I dive
I want people to see
That I'm naked and free
It's the best part about being alive
This my body, I like being a man
But I don't hide my feelings away
I also like my nose
and my fingers and toes
That's why I've been naked all day
This my body, I don't want to wear clothes
It feels good to be naked and free
Then I smile and run
Underneath the warm sun
And I laugh because I'm happy to be me
