Everything Possible
Fred Small
- We have cleared off the table, the leftovers saved,
- Washed the dishes and put them away
- I have told you a story and tucked you in tight
- At the end of your knockabout day
- As the moon sets its sails to carry you to sleep
- Over the midnight sea
- I will sing you a song no one sang to me
- May it keep you good company.
You can be anybody you want to be,
You can love whomever you will
You can travel any country where your heart leads
And know I will love you still
You can live by yourself, you can gather friends around,
You can choose one special one
And the only measure of your words and your deeds
Will be the love you leave behind when you're done.
- There are girls who grow up strong and bold
- There are boys quiet and kind
- Some race on ahead, some follow behind
- Some go in their own way and time
- Some women love women, some men love men
- Some raise children, some never do
- You can dream all the day never reaching the end
- Of everything possible for you.
- Don't be rattled by names, by taunts, by games
- But seek out spirits true
- If you give your friends the best part of yourself
- They will give the same back to you.
CHORUS
