Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Phone rings, another day begins
"Surname, please?" I ask, with practiced grin
He gives it, then the birthdate, clear and slow
The system whirs, the answer starts to show

[Pre-Chorus]
A name appears, upon the screen so bright
"Hello, Julian," I say, polite and light

[Chorus]
But then he sighs, a sound of weary dread
"Call me Ju," is what he sadly said
"I hate the name, it brings me only shame
Because of Clary, and his wicked game"

[Verse 2]
I pause a beat, a memory takes hold
Of stand-up nights, and stories to be told
The laughter roared, the jokes so sharp and keen
A nation shocked, by what they'd just seen

[Pre-Chorus]
A quick retort, upon my tongue takes flight
To banish shadows, bring him into light

[Chorus]
"But Julian," I say, "don't be unkind
That gag was genius, one of a kind!
Lamont he skewered, with a cheeky grin,
The funniest thing, that's ever been!"

[Bridge]
A silence hangs, I wonder if I'm wrong
To bring it up, to push where he's not strong
But then a chuckle, soft and low and deep
A glimmer of a change, the secrets he will keep

[Chorus]
"Maybe you're right," he says, a hint of glee
"Perhaps it's not so bad, to just be me
To own the name, and let the laughter ring
And thank old Clary, for the joy he'd bring!"

[Outro]
The call moves on, another task complete
But in my mind, that Julian I meet
A lesson learned, a moment shared and small
To find the joy, in standing proud and tall.
