Cold Caller - Julia Jacklin

Will I be a a mother or will I always be a child?

Does someone come and say, «Hey girl, it’s your time»?

What if I’m dancing and I don’t hear the door knock?

And some cold caller decides I’m not

Ready to change

Oh, what if my body is but my mind remains the same?

Will I be a mother or will I always be a child?

Does someone come and say your time has arrived?

What if I’m sleeping and I don’t wake with the clock?

And I sleep right through it and some kind of god decides I’m not

Ready to change

Oh, what if my mind is but my body won’t take to the stage?

I heard her screaming last night in my dreams

I tried to reach out and hold her

Can someone please tell me what that screaming means?

And not say, «Wait 'til you get older»?

Are you alright?

I have to see

Oh, my sweet sister

You’ve always been braver than me

Oh, what if my love is but I’m not ready to be?

I’m willing to change

Oh, it’s not just me, he’s also afraid
