Calum Mcswiggan - Coming out to grandma lyrics

I never had to tell you, Because perhaps you always knew, The secrets that I'd hidden away, The things I'd kept from you. I was always a littler feminine, And you always said that, that was okay, Being different is what makes you, you, Is the kind of thing you'd say. So why was I ever worried, About the things that you might say, When you met him on my 18th birthday, And found out I was gay. This is my boyfriend grandma, I said looking right at you, And you paused for just a moment, And said well you can call me grandma too. Because that's the kind of person you were, You believed in all that's fair and good, You supported those who needed it, By doing anything you could. If there's one thing that you left, It's the courage to make a change, To stand up for what is right in this world, And to demand that change today. You wanted me to do something in life, And I want to make you proud, So I'll fight for all those coming out, Whose families shut them out. Your legacy lives on with us, You were the most compa**ionate person I knew, And I want to use my life to help others, And I learned all that from you. So for all those people out there still in the closet and afraid, My grandmothers looking down on us, Giving us the courage to be brave. It doesn't matter who you are or who you love, As long as your heart is good and true, She'd consider you part of the family, She'd tell you to call her grandma too.
