They told me I could be anything
And they were right, mom
Stayed up at night, mom
Taught me to fight with my words
I didn't listen to her then
But I only listen to her now, now
They told me I could go anywhere
Under the sun, dad
Taught me to run, dad
Taught me to sing with my hands
Until this day I don't know how
To ever repay what I know now
What I know now
These gifts I got, my God
You better believe it
I've never seen it
Or anything like it
I wouldn't deny it
Goddamn, am I lucky for
Having these two beside me
These two
Said that anything's possible
And they were right, mom
Stayed up at night, mom
Taught me to write with my heart
If I could do it again now
I think that I'd do it again now
Now
They said there's no river wide enough
Under the sky, dad
Changed his whole life, dad
Taught me to fight with my hands
I only needed that one time
That was enough to be wrong, I
Never believed it was right
Right
These gifts I got, my God
You better believe it
I've never seen it
Or anything like it
I wouldn't deny it
Goddamn, am I lucky for
Having these two beside me
These two
Said that anything's possible
And they were right, 'cause
I was born white, that's
Just how it goes I guess
Get to avoid that mess
Wish it was different, but
This thing's not over yet, so
Stop saying different
I came here for one reason
To give you the confidence
To trust in your feelings
'Cause I hope that if we just
Keep on spreading love
Some day we'll be equal
Some day we'll be equal
Some day, we'll be
And they were right, mom
Stayed up at night, mom
Taught me to fight with my words
I didn't listen to her then
But I only listen to her now, now
They told me I could go anywhere
Under the sun, dad
Taught me to run, dad
Taught me to sing with my hands
Until this day I don't know how
To ever repay what I know now
What I know now
These gifts I got, my God
You better believe it
I've never seen it
Or anything like it
I wouldn't deny it
Goddamn, am I lucky for
Having these two beside me
These two
Said that anything's possible
And they were right, mom
Stayed up at night, mom
Taught me to write with my heart
If I could do it again now
I think that I'd do it again now
Now
They said there's no river wide enough
Under the sky, dad
Changed his whole life, dad
Taught me to fight with my hands
I only needed that one time
That was enough to be wrong, I
Never believed it was right
Right
These gifts I got, my God
You better believe it
I've never seen it
Or anything like it
I wouldn't deny it
Goddamn, am I lucky for
Having these two beside me
These two
Said that anything's possible
And they were right, 'cause
I was born white, that's
Just how it goes I guess
Get to avoid that mess
Wish it was different, but
This thing's not over yet, so
Stop saying different
I came here for one reason
To give you the confidence
To trust in your feelings
'Cause I hope that if we just
Keep on spreading love
Some day we'll be equal
Some day we'll be equal
Some day, we'll be
