These Gifts

(앨범: Innerverse - 2019)

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
God damn am I lucky for
Having these two beside me
These two

Said that anything's possible
And they were right
Mom studied 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
God damn 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
I 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 my hope is if we just
Keep on spreading love
Someday we'll be equal
Someday we'll be equal
Someday we'll be
