Okay


An idea that's close to my heart

something that I always knew from the start

the importance of family

never neglect or reject them

found out my sister's gay

and in a religous household

that's not okay

She's going straight to hell

is what they say

but who are you to judge her

just cause you go to church

doesn't give you the right

to decide whether who she loves

is right

they had a bond so tight

she couldn't find it anymore

I love her more than anything

so whether I agree or not

She's still my everything

society says it's not okay

and that's okay

but I'll always make sure

She's okay
