Miranda

My father's called Miranda these days She's a proud transgender woman And my resentment has started to fade 'Cause it was never about who she was Just the way that he behaved And now my father is Miranda And we're okay And all the years we were estranged I was always hoping he would find a way to change And after everything that we've been through Miranda, it's lovely to meet you When I was young, he always seemed so filled with rage He was angry at my clothes, my hair, my music, my teen age But one sunny afternoon she was dancing next to me on stage I felt my anger drain away from inside my blue cage And all the years we were estranged I was always hoping that he would find a way to change And after everything that we've been through Miranda, it's lovely to meet you The problem with carrying hate For someone we doesn't know Is you're the only one carrying the weight Best to do is let it go Get to know you for who you are (Pa-pa-pa-pa-parararara, pa-pa-pa-pa) Who you really are (Pa-pa-pa-pa-parararara, pa-pa-pa-pa) Who you really are (Pa-pa-pa-pa-parararara, pa-pa-pa-pa) And who you've always been (Pa-pa-pa-pa-parararara, pa-pa-pa-pa) Who you've always been And all the years that we have left Let's be our best selves Let's be friends I'll be me, promise me That you'll be you Oh Miranda, it's lovely to meet you Oh Miranda, it's lovely to meet you It's lovely to meet you
