Dedicated to Brandon Tina
Twenty years of life and I still
Don’t know who I am so I took some pills
Hoping for a revelation
I woke in the morning and I looked outside
The sun was shining and I thought me-oh-my
What a beautiful day
And it felt like a realization
The birds were singing and the bees were ok
They said they were happy; they said they were gay
And that was their exposition
Then I turned around and there on my bed
I saw myself almost dead
A bottle of pills my only companion
And I thought: what have I done
I looked high to the sky
I said: my God oh why oh why
How could you let this happen
I knew right then
I knew that I
Did not want or need to die
This was not my destination
I knew what I had to do
I had to be me and let you be you
And that would start a revolution
So I crawled back into my head
And I woke up there on my bed
Thrilled that I was not dead
And that cleared up my confusion
I got up and I looked outside
The sun was shining and I thought me-oh-my
What a beautiful day
I felt good deep inside
I no longer had anything to hide
I was glad to be me and happy for you
And that was the revelation
