Thread Name: songs to my daughter
Subject: RE: song to my daughter
I like this one by Small
Everything Possible by Small

We've cleared up the table leftover saved
Washed the dishes and put them away
I've told you a story, tucked you in tight
At the end of your knockabout day
As the moon sets her 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 whoever you will
You can travel any county 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
But the only measure of your words and your deeds
will be the love you leave behind when you're done

There's 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 love men
Some raise children some never do
You can dream all the days never reaching the end
Of everything that's possible for you.
CHORUS
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
