Everytime I hear about the Texas school board I want to stick my fingers in my ear. So this week, I’m going to write a song in response.

I heard a story
didn’t have a happy ending but
I thought it was pretty
I thought you should know
Cause you believe in magic
and you can keep a secret
You’re not afraid to swear
on your heart
Before there was a god
there was an earth
He didn’t make a man
out of dirt
He was never angry
just disappointed
that hasn’t changed
There were never dragons
but we all have our problems
All the allegories
were just metaphors
Before there was a lock
there was a door
If you don’t believe me
It won’t change anything
I still think you’re pretty
Cross my heart
Oh oh, cross my heart
I won’t make it hard
If you run across my heart
act as if it was yours
Before there was an earth
there was a bang
and that’s why
everything expands
Better take your place
before it gets out of hand
Oh oh cross my heart
I won’t make it hard
If you run across my heart
pick it up and take it home
Oh oh Oh oh Oh Oh
Cross my heart
