I only knew I would be the strongest version

Of what I was first given

The strongest dose of the love I was given

Sometimes I had to trample with tears in my eyes

Over the things I knew I couldn't help

Until I was strong enough to carry them with me instead

A route with pain, a route with joy

There should be no delusion of that magnitude

You should know the truth

I am not locked in my bones

I have been changed forever

And it makes the love you're given change too.
