Prophecies
作词 : Andrew Tufano/Janani Krishnan-Jha
作曲 : Andrew Tufano/Janani Krishnan-Jha
When you were my age, you gave up your world
Already married, raising a girl
Clinging to pages that never unfurled
It must've been a whirlwind
You kept yourself drunk on childhood dreams
They tore at your heart, you tore at the seams
And when I grew up, you passed 'em to me
But I don't know how to hold them (Hmm-mm)
Broken prophecies you carried overseas
To give me the life that you knew you couldn't lead
I know I'm not the girl that you thought I'd be
But even if you can't believe it
Everything I do, I do it for you
All the prophecies, they came true
I'm living in the world you wanted me to
Even if it doesn't look that way to you
Everything I do, I do it for you
You gave it all up, so I don't have to
I'll take your sacrifice and make it brand new
I promise everything I do
I do it for you
I do it for you
I cut off my hair and colored my clothes
Dabbled in boys I wasn't supposed to
All of the things you always opposed
And I still turned out okay (Hmm-mm)
'Cause I built my life for no one but me
Hoping one day, you'll finally see
I learned through your eyes, what it means to be free
Turns out there's more than one way
Broken prophecies of what my life could be
I'ma see 'em through just a little differently
I know that's hard for you to put your trust in me
But even if you can't believe it
Everything I do, I do it for you
All the prophecies, they came true
I'm living in the world you wanted me to
Even if it doesn't look that way to you
Everything I do, I do it for you
You gave it all up, so I don't have to
I'll take your sacrifice and make it brand new
I promise everything I do
I do it for you
I do it for you
Look at what we did, look how far we came
You stood half a lifetime in the face of shame
Teaching me to take pride in my name
So I wouldn't have to do the same
Look at all the mountains, mountains that we climbed
You stayed on the ground, so I could touch the sky
Every time your voice fell to the side
They'll hear it when they're listening to mine
So, all the prophecies you carried overseas
I'll keep them alive as long as they are mine to keep
And when my time has come to raise a family
I'll let them choose how to read it
