Mom was a rebel, she never conformed To dainty, effeminate, social norms Mom took me to visit my grandma one day A boy shocked to discover when I found my way This tale tells a story, only very few know Of the depths behind walls that never did show Mom's old room Surprises were found Mom's old room No limits or bounds In mom's old room Mom's old room seemed frozen in time Full of remnants, a life, she'd left far behind A vanity, makeup, closets of dresses All things a suburban princess possesses The room was closed up, tight like the tomb Of a girl her mom hoped for that never would bloom Mom's old room A new world was there Mom's old room A girl's dream none compared In mom's old room Shocked, yes I was but much more to share Stood there a dresser full of fine underwear Lace corsets and bras satin slips and some tights Pajamas and nightgowns to wear in the night The life grandma selected my mom had rejected And left it behind, not what grandma expected Mom's old room She left it behind Mom's old room No idea what I'd find In mom's old room I took off my clothes my heart beating fast Nervous this treasure hunt would not last Pulled up some thin panties over my hips Reached into the drawer and picked a white slip I looked in the mirror, I was impressed Then chose some stockings and closet, a dress Mom's old room Is where I found peace Mom's old room She was finally released In mom's old room Dresses in line, some blue as the sky A pink and a red, but one caught my eye A prom dress I chose, laid out on the bed Worried grandma might enter, thoughts in my head It was dainty and frilly, soft and ornate And when on, I felt like the queen on her date Mom's old room I was finally me Mom's old room I was finally free In mom's old room A wig that I'd found, high heels for my feet This transformation was finally complete Back to the mirror what a sight for sore eyes I may have been homely, but truth was the prize I went to the window didn't care who might look By that time I knew I was already hooked I was finally the girl I wished I could be Mom's old room it seemed was the whole world to me
