I knew a boy once when I was small
A tall, hair blond, with eyes of salt
He played the drum in the marchin' band
His parents cared more about the Bible
And bein' good to their own child
Who wore sleeves 'cause of his dad
And somehow we fell out with a touch
Hope he took his bad deal and made a royal flush
Don't know if I see you again someday
But if you're out there, I hope that you're okay
A middle school friend grew up alone
She raised her brothers on her alone
Her parents hated who she was
She couldn't wait to go to college
She was tired, 'cause she was brought into a world
Where family was merely blood
She know how proud I am she was created
With 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
Address the letters to the holes in my bu*terfly wing
'Cause nothing's forever, nothing's as good as it seems
And when the clouds are ironed out
And the monsters creep into your house
Every door is hard to close
Well, I hope you know how proud I am you were created
With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred
But I hope that you're happier today
'Cause I love you and I hope that you're okay
