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
እኔ ትንሽ ጊዜ አንድ ጊዜ አንድ ልጅ ያውቅ
ጨው ዓይኖች ጋር አንድ towhead ወርቃማ
እሱ የሽውሽውታ ባንድ ውስጥ ከበሮ ተጫውተዋል
ወላጆቹም ስለ መጽሐፍ ቅዱስ ይበልጥ እንክብካቤ
የራሳቸውን ልጅ መልካም ከመሆን ይልቅ
እሱም የአባባን ረጅም እጅጌ 'ምክንያት ይለብሱ
እንዲሁም በሆነ እኛ ንክኪ ውጭ ወደቀ
እሱ መጥፎ ስምምነት ወስዶ ንጉሣዊ ማስወገጃ አደረገ ተስፋ
እኔም አንድ ቀን እንደገና ማየት ይችላሉ ከሆነ አታውቁምን?
እዚያ ውጪ ከሆኑ ግን: እኔ ደህና ነዎት ተስፋ
[ቁጥር 2]
የእኔ መካከለኛ ትምህርት ቤት ጓደኛዬ ብቻ ያደገው
እሷ በራሷ ላይ ወንድሞቿን አስነሣው
የእሷ ወላጆች ወዳለችና ማን እንደ ጠላኝ
እሷ ኮሌጅ ለመሄድ መጠበቅ አልቻሉም
እሷ አንድ ዓለም አመጡ ምክንያት እሷ ', ድካም ነበር
የት ቤተሰብ ብቻ ደም ነበር
እሷ እኔ እሷ የተፈጠረው ነኝ ምን ያህል ኩራት ያውቃል?
ድፍረት ጋር ያላቸውን ጥላቻ ሁሉ የሚኖርባቸውን?
እኛ ብዙ ማውራት አይደለም, ነገር ግን እኔ ልክ እላለሁ ከሚመጣው
እኔ ይናፍቀኛል, እና እኔ ደህና ነዎት ተስፋ
[Bridge]
የእኔ ቢራቢሮ ክንፎች ውስጥ ቀዳዳዎች ወደ ደብዳቤዎች አድራሻ
ይመስላል እንደ ምንም ለዘላለም ነው, ምንም መልካም ሆኖ ነው
ወደ ደመናት ውጭ መተኮስ አይችልም ጊዜ
እና ጭራቆች ወደ ቤትህ ሾልከው እየገቡ
እያንዳንዱ በር ዝጋ አስቸጋሪ ነው
[Outro]
ደህና, እኔ ለእናንተ የተፈጠሩት ነኝ ያህል ኩራት ታውቃለህ ተስፋ
ድፍረት ጋር ያላቸውን ጥላቻ ሁሉንም የሚኖርባቸውን
ነገር ግን, እግዚአብሔር ሆይ: ዛሬ ደስተኛ ነዎት ተስፋ
እኔ ለእናንተ ፍቅር ምክንያት
እኔም ደህና ነዎት ተስፋ
