[00:03.09] I knew a boy once, when I was small

[00:16.94] A tow-head blond, with eyes of salt

[00:19.94] He played the drum in the marching band

[00:25.96] His parents cared more about the Bible

[00:29.20] Than being good to their own child

[00:32.44] He wore long sleeves 'cause of his dad

[00:37.70] And somehow, we fell out of touch

[00:43.19] Hope he took his bad deal and made a royal flush

[00:49.45] Don't know if I'll see you again someday

[00:55.47] But if you're out there, I hope that you're OK

[01:15.53] My middle school friend grew up alone

[01:18.30] She raised her brothers on her own

[01:21.29] Her parents hated who she loved

[01:27.53] She couldn't wait to go to college

[01:30.77] She was tired 'cause she was brought

[01:33.53] Into a world where family was merely blood

[01:38.78] Does she know how proud I am she was created

[01:44.81] With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred

[01:51.03] We don't talk much but I just gotta say

[01:57.30] "I miss you, and I hope that you're OK."

[02:04.03] Address the letters, to the holes in my butterfly wings

[02:10.30] Nothing's forever, nothing's as good as it seems

[02:16.52] And when the clouds won't iron out

[02:19.64] And the monsters creep into your house

[02:23.13] And every door is hard to close

[02:27.11] Well, I hope you know how proud I am you were created

[02:33.87] With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred

[02:39.85] God, I hope that you're happier today

[02:46.38] 'Cause I love you, and I hope that you're OK
