I know that we have not yet been perfected
And are missing parts of us that are required
I know that we will never fully heal
And we will spend a lifetime in repair
Just a mess of broken glass and shorted wires
Our jealousy, impulses and fears
And like everything that has been left unfinished
We have made room for all our mistakes
And if your course should change
I will not be compelled to follow you
I'll keep you here inside among the things
That take up space and gather dust
I will see in you the things I've always wanted
The goals and things I never will achieve
You will become more than just a constant
You will be the guidelines and the light
Rain or sun you are shining
Now that you have found a reason to move on
But you may lean into me
I'm not as frail as we used to be
We're not as frail as we used to be
I am a son, you are a daughter
I am a son, you are a daughter
A daughter
(I am a son, you are a daughter)
(I am a son, you are a daughter)
I am a son, you are a daughter
I am a son, you are a daughter
I am a son, you are a daughter
I am a son, you are a daughter
A daughter
