Lyrics
When I knew you were coming I never could sleep
If I tried you would just kick the hell out of me
So I'd sit in your room painting purples and blues
Singing songs to my belly and waiting for you
With a love so big it could fill the world
And I picked out names for a boy or girl
Didn't need to know
You came two days early I wasn't surprised
You were nine pounds of energy ready to fly
And I gave you the name of my most trusted friend
And I hoped that'd be armor against every end
In a world so big you fit in my hands
And I held you close tried to understand
And watched you grow
Oh...Bob the Builder and Thomas the Train
Oh...Big umbrella small boots in the pouring rain
You spent your days in a world you created
With pirates and dragons
And princesses waiting for knights
Or a spaceship to take them away
And you lost yourself in every role that you played
And the damsels became their own heroes
And the bad guys sometimes had
Broken homes and hearts of gold
People will tell you to be who you are
Just as long as you don't try to take it too far
But they'll cut off your beautiful colorful wings
In their black and white world
You're a dangerous thing
I can't keep you safe and still let you go
I can't make them see what I see
So they'll never know you at all
But I know your heart and your soul stay the same
When you're using new pronouns
And changing your name
If there is a God and she's still hearing prayers
Or some magical wish you can speak in the air
Then I'll whisper these words
To whomever may hear
That you're happy, unharmed
That you never know fear
In a world so big
Full of joy and pain
That you get back up
Always know your name
I love you so
