"Everything Possible" Lyrics

Michael
"Well, we're coming near the end of the show, so we're gonna sing
A lullaby now. Try to imagine how different you might be, and how
Different the world might be, if more parents would sing lullabies

Like this to their children."
We have cleared off the table
The leftovers saved
Washed the dishes, and put them away

I have told you a story
And tucked you in tight
At the end of your knockabout day
As the moon sets its sail

To carry you to sleep
Over the midnight sea
I will sing you a song no one sang to me
May it keep you good company

You can be anybody that you want to be
You can love whomever you will
You can travel any country where your heart leads
And know I will love you still

You can live by yourself
You can gather friends around
You can choose one special one
But the only measure of your words and your deeds

Will be the love you leave behind when you're gone.
Some girls grow up strong and bold
Some boys are quiet and kind
Some race on ahead, some follow behind

Some grow in their own space and time
Some women love women
And some men love men
Some raise children, and some never do

You can dream all the day, never reaching the end
Of everything possible for you.
Don't be rattled by names, by taunts or games,
But seek out spirits true

If you give your friends the best part of yourself
They will give the same back to you.
You can be anybody that you want to be
You can love whomever you will

You can travel any country where your heart leads
And know I will love you still
You can live by yourself
You can gather friends around

You can choose one special one
But the only measure of your words and your deeds
Will be the love you leave behind when you're gone.
Oh yes, the love you leave behind when you're gone
