[00:00.000] 作词 : Shaina Taub/Mark Sonnenblick [00:01.000] 作曲 : Elton John [00:08.677]Growing up gay in Kalamazoo was not a walk in the park [00:17.448]Between bullies at school and brothers at home, let's just say it was dark [00:26.813]I literally hid in a closet so they wouldn't see me cry [00:35.408]Then one day on a rack at a corner store, a magazine caught my eye [00:45.144]The girl on the cover looked back at me as if to say, "Hey, I know who you'll be" [00:53.544]I read the whole issue right there by the clerk, with my Runway in hand, my heart went to work [01:06.211] [01:06.232]Seen, suddenly, seen [01:10.333]In every page of that magazine [01:14.768]A part of me nobody recognized yet reflected in the Yves St. Laurent's silhouette [01:23.374]Seen, suddenly, seen [01:27.409]As more than a shy and awkward teen [01:31.980]Runway gave me a glimpse of a world where someday I could be seen [01:53.001] [01:53.022]I studied designers in detail, kept clippings under my bed [02:00.574]I pretended to play with my G.I. Joes, but made them new clothes instead [02:08.316]At eighteen, I ran to Manhattan, got hired at Runway like you [02:16.196]Miranda looked over a layout I made and said, "Nigel, that'll do" [02:24.330]Thirty years later, I'm working among the legends I lived for when I was young [02:31.907]Got the job of my dreams, a partner I love, and a life that fits like a Lagerfeld glove [02:44.287] [02:44.308]Seen, finally, seen [02:47.993]Now I'm part of that magazine [02:52.300]Dressing up icons the way I know how [02:56.143]No hiding in closets, I curate them now [03:00.161]Seen, finally, seen [03:04.278]Crowned as prince by the fashion queen [03:08.246]Runway lets me express to the world the way I want to be seen [03:19.612] [03:19.633]So sure, there's an ugly side to this business [03:26.721]Can be cutthroat, often extreme [03:34.273]But it's worth all the stress, it's worth every cost [03:38.825]If a copy of Runway finds a boy who feels lost [03:48.921] [03:48.942]And he feels seen, suddenly, seen [03:54.952]If he can learn from this magazine [03:58.781]That being a queer kid's not some kind of crime [04:03.126]In fact, it's pretty ****ing sublime [04:06.710]Seen, suddenly, seen [04:10.567]Can you imagine what that could mean? [04:14.594]Fashion opens your eyes to the world [04:18.362]I want him to see what I've seen [04:27.860] [04:27.881]I want you to see what I've seen
