Where Is Safe
Got dressed early, doesn't look quite right
But it's what I like to wear
Mom looks worried, dad just smiles
I hope I don't get too many stares
School bell rings, don't walk too fast
Shuffle past the glare
Keep my head up, words that sting
Try hard not to care
Velour shirt with big long collars
My favorite corduroy
High-top vans and my favorite skateboard
Guess I look like a boy
All my life, I just wanted to hear was
"Be yourself without any fear"
Did the best I could to live my truth
I just wanted to be safe
Could you (keep me safe)?
Keep me safe (keep me safe)
Where is safe? (Keep me safe)
Where is safe? Where is safe?
Got out of high school and tried some college
Made some friends, picked up lots of courage
Started a band then I found love
But in the back of my head
I knew I might not be safe
Where is safe?
Could you keep me safe?
Where is safe?
50 years later and now I'm old
The same hateful people are now making laws
To keep kids like I was from being true
To themselves, to their hearts
What are trans kids supposed to do?
Where is safe?
Where is safe?
Could you keep us safe?
Can't go to Florida, play sports with my friends
Our own private Idaho, where does it end?
Wrote off Alabama, and Texas (not Austin)
But where is, where is safe?
Where is safe? (Where is safe?)
Can you keep us safe? (Where is safe?)
Where is safe? (Where is safe?)
I want to be safe
But it's what I like to wear
Mom looks worried, dad just smiles
I hope I don't get too many stares
School bell rings, don't walk too fast
Shuffle past the glare
Keep my head up, words that sting
Try hard not to care
Velour shirt with big long collars
My favorite corduroy
High-top vans and my favorite skateboard
Guess I look like a boy
All my life, I just wanted to hear was
"Be yourself without any fear"
Did the best I could to live my truth
I just wanted to be safe
Could you (keep me safe)?
Keep me safe (keep me safe)
Where is safe? (Keep me safe)
Where is safe? Where is safe?
Got out of high school and tried some college
Made some friends, picked up lots of courage
Started a band then I found love
But in the back of my head
I knew I might not be safe
Where is safe?
Could you keep me safe?
Where is safe?
50 years later and now I'm old
The same hateful people are now making laws
To keep kids like I was from being true
To themselves, to their hearts
What are trans kids supposed to do?
Where is safe?
Where is safe?
Could you keep us safe?
Can't go to Florida, play sports with my friends
Our own private Idaho, where does it end?
Wrote off Alabama, and Texas (not Austin)
But where is, where is safe?
Where is safe? (Where is safe?)
Can you keep us safe? (Where is safe?)
Where is safe? (Where is safe?)
I want to be safe
