Every Atom Of You

Every atom of you, to me, is perfect Every battle we have to fight is worth it Your smile doesn’t look much like mine That is absolutely fine

Every atom of you, to me, is perfect

The doctor’s talking behind a furrowed brow

You would’ve thought he’d be used to this by now

I smile at him and say “it’s alright,

“I once wanted an easy life,

“But that’s a bubble and you’re not the first to burst it, “Every atom of you, to me, is perfect”

So fly away, my expectations

You’ve never done me much good

The day always brought more

Than I thought it would

There are those who think they know best

They forget we’re all works in progress

And it’s the trials that make the triumphs worth it Every atom of you, to me, is perfect

Your Mum and I will love you til our last heartbeat And as we strap you into your bro’s old car seat We’re both grieving an expectation

But we’ve been gifted a road less taken

Your Mum and I will love you til our last heartbeat

I’m supposed to tell you there’s nothing that you can’t do As if achieving things is the way we’ll mark you

The history books are often bare

Of those who quietly, kindly cared

But I’ll take them over any king or army

Your Mum and I will love you til our last heartbeat

So fly away, my expectations

You’ve never done me much good

The day always brought more

Than I thought it would

I’ll greet triumphs and struggles the same You’re a gift, that’s why we named you Theodore

Gift from God

How could we deserve it? When

Every atom of you, to me, is perfect Every atom of you, to me, is perfect
