Once was a baby that bawled his eyes out
Shush - keep it down!
Once was a boy teased so much he wanted to die
Shush - keep it down!
Once was a boy tied down by his brethren for being who he wanted
Shush - keep it down!
Once was a boy who screamed at the top of his lungs;
"I want to be free!"
Shush! - keep it down!

Once that boy grew stronger
We don't care - just keep it down!
That boy grew wings and flew his highest
We don't care - just keep it down!
Once that boy walked the path they wanted him to
We don't care - just keep it down!
That boy wrote his pain down black ink;
He sung words that just came from his mind
We don't care - just keep it down!

Once that boy grew tired of trying
So what? - keep it down!
That boy always found himself crying
So what? - keep it down!
Once that boy saw his heart breaking;
With it, his world shattering
So what? - keep it down!
That boy found himself dying
So what? - keep it down!

Not long after, a casket was borne
Wait, what happened to him?
His face covered, his body crippled
Oh my, how terrible!
People grieved his absence;
Absence that would last eternally
From a distance he whispered to them:

*Keep it down!
