EVERYTHING POSSIBLE (Fred Small) We have cleared off the table, leftovers saved Washed the dishes and put them away I've 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 cho: Oh you can be anybody you want to be You can love whomever you will You can travel any country that your heart leads And know that 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 Oh 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'll give the same back to you. CHORUS Roy Bailey recorded this on Why Does It Have to be Me? (Fuse Records CFCD 396, 1 989), a collection of songs for children. He had this to say about it: "A friend in Vancouver, Marisa Orth-Pallavicini, introduced me to the song Every thing Possible, by Fred Small. She has recorded it and I was so moved by it, th at I have been singing it ever since I heard her singing it. I have wanted to r ecord it for a long time. Judging by the reactions I have had, it seems many pe ople are moved by what the song is saying." (Fred Small; © Pine Barrens Music 1983) @discrimination @child @kids filename[ EVPOSIBL MD JRO |
