"Are You Gonna Be Okay "- Inspired by Bruce Jenner

"Are You Gonna Be Okay"
Music and Lyrics by Ben Boecker
Based on Bruce Jenner's Gender Transition and Interview with Diane Sawyer.
Wow.
What would my father say?
If he saw me now?
I don’t really know.
No I couldn’t know.
He was a funny one,
But I hope he’d say
Are…
Are you gonna be okay?
Is this what you want?
If you’re sure of it,
I’m okay with it
But he’d prob’ly say
Something more like
Hey kid
Did i just hear what you said kid?
Did you fall on your head kid?
Are you dizzy?
When’s your birthday?
What year is it?
Not
Are you gonna be okay?
Are you gonna be okay?
People
Normal ordinary people
Tend to think they can fix you
Like you’re broken
I’m not broken
I was broken
Fix me?
No-one else can fix me.
But anyone can ask me-
Anyone can say.
Hey…
Are…
Are you gonna be okay?
Are you feeling brave?
Are you strong enough?
Are you ready for
All the challenges?
All the crazy ones?
All the ridicule?
All the cameras?
All the critical eyes of the world?
And I’d answer,
Honestly I don’t know,
But I can put on one helluva show,
And really, it’s not about being okay anyway.
I just want to be free-
To be me.
Am I gonna be okay?
Yeah I’m gonna be okay.
