Were you named for the river that surrounds All my biggest mistakes or the way that I made it out All the muscles in my mouth Never smiled and said profound Things until the day she handed you to me For all the steps you'll take And all you'll overcome I want to be the one to put it in a song Take every single tear For all the world to hear I want to be the one to put it in a song Cigarettes are raining hard on the Upper East Side She brings me a cake, we celebrate, I have arrived Now I know that it's been said before But you're my human holiday I put my hands to the table and I'll say the love of my life And your brother with his best friend Shouts a name I'm going to need Really couldn't bring me down For everything you've lost And all you've overcome I want to be the one to put it in a song Take every single tear For all the world to hear I want to be the one to put it in a song I'll make this last forever Ever comes in truth (?) When truth begins to pass its sound to call out to the moon And the moon can see the beauty that surrounds Your heart as it pounds It starts the beat inspiring me until I make a sound I want to be the one I want to be the one I want to be the one For everything you've lost And all you've over come Take every single tear For all the world to hear I want to be the one to put it in a song
