hope ur ok

[00:13.70] I knew a boy once when I was small

[00:16.90] A towhead blond with eyes of salt

[00:19.83] He played the drum in the marching band

[00:25.93] His parents cared more about the Bible

[00:29.14] Than being good to their own child

[00:32.08] He wore long sleeves 'cause of his dad

[00:37.39] And somehow, we fell out of touch

[00:42.96] Hope he took his bad deal and made a royal flush

[00:49.34] Don't know if I'll see you again someday

[00:55.18] But if you're out there, I hope that you're okay

[01:15.14] My middle school friend grew up alone

[01:18.33] She raised her brothers on her own

[01:21.25] Her parents hated who she loved

[01:27.42] She couldn't wait to go to college

[01:30.87] She was tired 'cause she was brought into a world

[01:35.13] Where family was merely blood

[01:38.84] Does she know how proud I am she was created

[01:44.72] With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred?

[01:51.11] We don't talk much, but I just gotta say

[01:57.27] I miss you and I hope that you're okay

[02:04.19] Address the letters to the holes in my butterfly wings

[02:10.32] Nothing's forever, nothing is as good as it seems

[02:16.73] And when the clouds won't iron out

[02:19.68] And the monsters creep into your house

[02:23.12] And every door is hard to close

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

[02:34.01] With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred

[02:40.14] But, God, I hope that you're happier today

[02:46.26] 'Cause I love you

[02:51.06] And I hope that you're okay
