Obviously a boy, the doctor said while we spent ages making up names for a daughter

We were overjoyed

16 Weeks and my body showed the lines of a mother

Hopelessly unsure

Until then I was running uphill with a blind ambition

Don't throw it overboard, my mama said

Now you can do both you're a woman on a mission

Boy, now I know

You gotta make plans only to change them as you go

I carved every footstep into the snow until you showed me

You gotta make plans to change them as you go

You were born in May

Nothing smooth but who cares 'bout the road when the outcome is you

Slowly rearranged

Holding tightly to my old life while embracing the new

Hello love, I’m so happy that you’re here

Boy, now I know

You gotta make plans only to change them as you go

I carved every footstep into the snow until you showed me

You gotta make plans to change them as you go
