By: Fred Small A G D We have cleared off the table, the leftovers saved, A G D Washed the dishes and put them away A D I have told you a story and tucked you in tight G C A At the end of your knockabout day D D7 G D As the moon sets its sails to carry you to sleep G A Over the midnight sea D G D G I will sing you a song no one sang to me D A G May it keep you good company. CHORUS: D A G A You can be anybody you want to be, G A D You can love whomever you will D A G D You can travel any country where your heart leads G A D And know I will love you still D D7 G A You can live by yourself, you can gather friends around, G A You can choose one special one D A G A And the only measure of your words and your deeds G A D Will be the love you leave behind when you're done. A G D There are girls who grow up strong and bold A G D There are boys quiet and kind A D Some race on ahead, some follow behind G C A Some go in their own way and time D D7 G D Some women love women, some men love men G A Some raise children, some never do D G D G You can dream all the day never reaching the end D A G Of everything possible for you. Bm F# Don't be rattled by names, by taunts, by games G D But seek out spirits true G F# If you give your friends the best part of yourself G A They will give the same back to you.
