You went through
A lot of searching and learning
No one counted out year by year
Here they are, there they are, wanting to know
You for who you are
Including you
A lot of trying and crying - ah,
You've dried a lifetime of tears
You're richer of a challenge to know
You for who you are
Unfolding you
I don't know all the details
But I know what you've been through
The work and the time, all of this time
All the things you've had to do
You've been through
A lot of struggle and loving
Fit into a few short years
Now is much better for knowing
You for who you are
Layers and layers of you
So much ahead to fill your head
Unrolling this dream we call life
Maybe alone now with partners and friends
For you for who you are
Including you
And I don't know all the details
But I know what you've been through
Now you're here and on this day
The best of futures to you
You've been through
A lot -
And you have come so very far
And it's you for who you are
