From the recording FAWM 2024
As FAWM winds down, and I switch back into release and show rehearsal modes I had an idea this morning for a possible EP around the concept of fatherhood. I thought to myself I have a few unreleased songs in this vein that would work well together, but wanted to balance it out with one specifically for our youngest. This song was the result. I went on to discover that I have for more songs about fatherhood than I remembered, so full album concept it is. Ah well, that's not a bad thing.
Lyrics
You were our little girl, with a smile that lit the world
Wrapped your arms around us night and day
Just a few years on, it got so complicated
From she to they, from into boys to girls
Just know whether he, she, them or they
We love you just the same
Regardless of your preferences
We'll always be your parents
Whether he, she, them or they
We love you just the same
By your side forever
Regardless of your gender
Once high school had passed, you found yourself so fast
From them to him while we were trying to catch up
But whether he, she, them or they
We love you just the same
Regardless of your preferences
We'll always be your parents
Whether he, she, them or they
We love you just the same
By your side forever
Regardless of your gender
It's a scary world out there
With hate filled eyes and angry stares
We're a shelter from that storm
People you can lean on if you want
Whether he, she, them or they
We love you just the same
Regardless of your preferences
We'll always be your parents
Whether he, she, them or they
We love you just the same
By your side forever
Regardless of your gender
Whether he, she, them or they
We love you just the same
Regardless of your preferences
We'll always be your parents
Whether he, she, them or they
We love you just the same
By your side forever
Regardless of your gender know you're loved.
