Dear family I wrote this song when I was a senior in high school trying to figure out how to come out
Dear mommy dear daddy I miss you so
Dear brother dear sister I hope you know
Dear friends dear family you helped me grow
I'm writing this letter to tell you so
Dear mommy dear daddy I'm doing fine
Dear brother dear sister I've learned to shine
Dear friends dear family I'm feeling strong
With all of you I know where I belong
Through the years I've found my way
With your love you gave me power to stay
Every word and every hug you gave
Helped me feel safe helped me be brave
Dear mommy dear daddy I've grown so tall
Dear brother dear sister I've seen it all
Dear friends dear family I've raised the bar
I hope you are all proud of me so far
Through the years I've found my way
With your love you gave me power to stay
Every word and every hug you gave
Helped me feel safe helped me be brave
Now I've got something I need to share
A part of me I want you to care
It's taken some time but now I see
I hope you can love this part of me
Dear mommy dear daddy I'm still your kid
Dear brother dear sister here's what I did
Dear friends dear family I'm here to say
I love you all… and by the way I'm gay!
