Everything Possible
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 knock about 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 that 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 gone.
Some girls grow up strong and bold.
Some boys are quiet and kind.
Some race on ahead, some follow behind,
Some grow in their own way and time.
You can dream all the day never reaching
The end of everything possible for you.
You can be anybody that 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 gone.
And your deeds will be the love you leave behind
When you're gone.
