lyrics

They’re wrong, it’s based only on fleeting witness
The judges, they judge and they all say their bit
A brief peak through your narrow castle window
Is not enough to know your monumental story

They are wrong. You are strong.

Surrounded by all of the jagged pieces
A puzzle evolving, all the way around us
Hold on to the strands of your stubborn journey
And nurture them to share your monumental story

Hearing the smug crows of mothers, with not enough to say
Building a lifeboat, we slowly drift away

We’ll never leave you wanting
And never let you fall kid,
You're braver than all those out there
You can stand up tall
Flummoxed all the doctors
Who said that it was lost
Hell, you wanna be on their right side
Signs so flipped and tossed

You open the door to a magic kingdom
A world full of mystery. See how you come alive.
The old man. A monster. A fire ninja.
You conquered them and built your monumental story.

Please teach us slowly, about all your tangled ways to be
Twisted paths you go down make me dizzy

If we ever leave you wanting
We’ll always break your fall
Kid, you proved to all us out there
That you can stand as tall
Forget about those doctors
‘Cos you can do it all
Hell, you showed them all your bright side
But we don’t know much more

We don’t know much more
We’ll never leave you wanting
And never let you fall
As brave as all those out there
You can stand as tall

So take the helm, kid
And sail the big ship all the way to shore

And the priceless joy is ours
When you reach up for the sky
A complex little boy
A stubborn little boy
Our brilliant little boy

They’re wrong… it’s you who writes the story
Make it come alive!
