Good one.  I like this Stevie Nicks song too. 




It's a later version of Rhiannon with the line:


"Once in a million years a lady like her rises"

I associate it with the sheer improbability and wonder of being able to actually transition and how all the stars finally aligned for me in this place and time and what a rare and special gift transition is.  Something I used to never even dream would ever be possible even in a million years.  And yet here I am. Changing.

The trailer for "The Greatest Showman" has a song from Keala Settle "This is Me" that has some transition themed lyrics.  The full song hasn't been released yet and you can only hear it on the trailer for now.  But it made me notice.

QuoteSnippet:
[Verse]
I'm not a stranger to the dark
Don't hide away, be safe
'Cause we don't want your broken parts

[Chorus]
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies
This is me
Look out 'cause here I come (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Marching on, marching, marching on (oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'm not scared to be seen (oh-oh-oh-oh)
I make no apologies (oh-oh-oh-oh)
This is me

[Outro]
([?])
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
([?])
I'm gonna stand there [?]
Gonna try [?], oh
This is me

My favorite transition themed song is Most Girls by Hailee Steifeld

Dreams can come true, it can happen to you . . .

Phil Collins - We Said Hello Goodbye

(I'm reviving this thread a little, if that's okay)
"I want to break free" by Queens. It's also my favourite song by them.
"Anima" by Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows. More for mtf though, very strong lyrics too.
"When you don't see me" by Sisters of Mercy.
and I'm surprised no one's mentioned "Candy says" by The Velvet Underground, yet. It's a sad song, but I think it's beautiful too in a way.

My favorite will always be Christina Aguilera's cover of "Reflection" from Mulan

Stan Bush - The Journey.  I love Stan Bush.

I am sure some of the lyrics in Dokken -  Breaking the chains, could be construed as transition related, but then there are so many other songs that could be construed the same way.

Ever since I committed to transition and srs I heard in the back of my mind, "Can't you see", by the Marshal Tucker Band.

The lyrics, "Can't you see, can't you see, what that woman is doing to me?". I heard it right up until they rolled me into surgery......haven't heard it since then.

ok my big one is Shatter Me- Lindsey Sterling feat Izzy Hale

the whole song is based on inner struggle and I just relate really well to it

Rocky Mountain High   by John Denver

No one for Fireworks by Katie Perry? That video made me get choked up in my man suit when it came out.


You Make Me Feel Like a) Natural Woman
Aretha Franklin

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But your the key to my peace of mind
'Cause you make me feel,
You make me feel,
You make me feel like
A natural woman
When my soul was in the lost and found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful, of what I'm living for
And if I make you happy I don't need to do more
'Cause you make me feel,
You make me feel,
You make me feel like
A natural woman
Oh, baby,...

Not sure if this counts but I think it could be interpreted as a transition song.
