We all seek to be loved, to be accepted, to belong. Straddling multiple subgroups within the culture, Topher describes himself as "Too white to be black, too black to be gay, and too gay to be Christian". He's suffered bullying and discrimination in silence... and now he's beginning to speak out.

Ready to be Loved is written and performed by Wells Hanley and is sung by Darius de Haas. The song was inspired by this video of Topher and Constance.

Ready to be Loved Music and Lyrics by Wells Hanley ©2021

I became in a blaze of light

I landed here after a long, long flight

And now I'm ready to be loved

I am ready to be loved

I went the way of the American child

I played the game, when I was sad, I smiled

But now I'm ready to be loved

I am ready to be loved

When the rain goes,

there ought to be a rainbow somewhere

After the pain I've known,

I want to believe you could begin to care

And that's a heavy hope to bear.

I've felt so frightened that I've made myself small,

I've said I was sorry when I was not sorry at all,

And I am ready to be loved

I am ready to be loved

I've been bossed and double crossed, and I've been tossed around

I've been stood up, and I've been let down,

And now I'm ready to rise above,

I am ready to be loved.

I have pretended

that I was not offended by your jokes on me

When the laughter had ended,

I searched your eyes, but found no empathy

and that's a lonely way to be.

Here I stand before you now

I've been mistreated, I've been beaten down,

And now I'm ready to be loved

I am ready to be loved

Oh, I am ready to be loved,

I am ready to be loved.
