Oh in my head, I'm a bard, nice to meet ya
I sing my songs to the world
But in the country they call me a creature
The fowlest of sins, haven't you heard?

They say "pretty girl, what have you done to yourself?
Who's gonna love you with those scars on your chest
You've ruined your future, your chance at succeeding
I feel for your parents, I'm sure they did their best"

I gotta hand it to them
They sure know how to hit you where it hurts

Oh in my head, I'm a bard and I sing
And with my words, everyone hums along
But in the country, they call me a thing
A freak of nature that should never see the sun

I know why they say it, I know they're afraid of
The world they understand coming crumbling down
It's fight, flight or fiddle and we're caught in the middle
Of their amygdala trying to find higher ground

When they come with pitchforks and politics
I laugh in their faces, they don't know what hides in the woods
But under this smile, though I don't like to say it
I'm a sad, lonely kid scared I'll never belong

Oh in my head, I'm a bard, I'm a lover
Of all the hearts that reach out to touch mine
But in the country, they call me a devil
You know what? I'm not sure I mind

If it's a sin, then crown me king of fire
Sit on the cold pews and pray for my soul
But I wonder who needs that prayer the most?
Cos this isn't breaking me, it's making me whole

I gotta hand it to us
We sure know how to heal where we have been hurt

Oh I'm just a bard, not a preacher nor a king
And I am not counting on changing the world
But where in the country they say I don't fit in
By one lonely kid, my songs might be heard

One lonely kid, words that ring of resilience
Tales of the love out there for us to find
See, we're all lonely kids, traumatized, brilliant
Who decided to try one last time

Oh in my head, I'm a bard, telling stories
The greatest tales you've ever heard
Should you ever doubt, just know that yours is
The one where we save the world

Oh, the journey is long
But I walk by your side so I one day can write your songs

Sad lonely kid, it's for you that I sing
It's for you that I brave all my fears
I know how it feels, like it's all too much
But you have a place with us here

In my soul, I know I'm not alone
As I sing my silly songs to the world
And in the country, they welcome me home
Those lonely kids, haven't you heard?
