I knew a boy once when I was small
A towhead blond with eyes of salt
He played the drum in the marching band
His parents cared more about the Bible
I knew a boy once when I was small
A towhead blond with eyes of salt
He played the drum in the marching band
His parents cared more about the Bible
Than being good to their own child
He wore long sleeves 'cause of his dad
And somehow we fell out of touch
Hope he took his bad deal and made a royal flush
Don't know if I'll see you again someday
But if you're out there, I hope that you're okay
[Verse 2]
My middle school friend grew up alone
She raised her brothers on her own
Her parents hated who she loved
She couldn't wait to go to college
She was tired, 'cause she was brought into a world
Where family was merely blood
Does she know how proud I am she was created?
With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred?
We don't talk much, but I just gotta say
I miss you, and I hope that you're okay
[Bridge]
Address the letters to the holes in my butterfly wings
Nothing's forever, nothing's as good as it seems
And when the clouds won't iron out
And the monsters creep into your house
Every door is hard to close
[Outro]
Well, I hope you know how proud I am you were created
With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred
But, God, I hope that you're happier today
Cause I love you
And I hope that you're okay
Mimi nilijua kijana mara moja nilipokuwa mdogo
towhead blond macho ya chumvi
Alicheza ngoma katika kuandamana bendi
Wazazi wake kumjali zaidi kuhusu Biblia
Kuliko kuwa nzuri ya mtoto wao
Yeye walivaa sababu mikono mirefu 'ya baba yake
Na kwa namna fulani sisi akaanguka nje ya kuwasiliana
Matumaini alichukua mpango wake mbaya na alifanya flush ya kifalme
Sijui kama mimi utaona tena siku moja
Lakini kama wewe ni huko nje, natumaini kwamba wewe ni sawa
[Mst 2]
My kati ya shule rafiki alikua peke
Yeye alimfufua kaka zake juu yake mwenyewe
wazazi wake kuchukiwa ambaye yeye kupendwa
Aliweza kusubiri kwenda chuo
Alikuwa amechoka, maana yeye aliletwa ulimwenguni
Ambapo familia ilikuwa damu tu
Je, ana kujua jinsi kiburi Mimi ni yeye iliundwa?
Pamoja na ujasiri wa unlearn yote ya chuki zao?
Hatuna mambo mengi, lakini mimi tu gotta kusema
I miss you, na natumaini kwamba wewe ni sawa
[Daraja]
Anwani barua mashimo katika mbawa zangu butterfly
Hakuna kitu milele, hakuna kitu kama nzuri kama inaonekana
Na wakati mawingu si chuma nje
Na monsters yao huenda katika nyumba yako
Kila mlango ni vigumu karibu
[Outro]
Naam, mimi matumaini unajua jinsi kiburi Mimi ni ile ulipoumbwa
Pamoja na ujasiri wa unlearn yote ya chuki zao
Lakini, Mungu, natumaini kwamba wewe ni furaha leo
Sababu Nakupenda
Na natumaini kwamba wewe ni sawa
