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