Common Thread sings "Everything Possible" by Fred Small arranged by J-M. Albert. Common Thread Community Chorus of Toronto. Isabel Bernaus, Conductor. Recorded on Saturday, May 30, 2009 at Holy Trinity Church, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. www.commonthreadchorus.ca
We have cleared off the table, the leftovers saved
Washed the dishes and put them away
I have told you a story and tucked you in tight
At the end of your knockabout day
As the moon sets its sails to carry you to sleep
Over the midnight sea
I will sing you a song no one sang to me
May it keep you good company
You can be anybody you want to be
You can love whomever you will
You can travel any country where your heart leads
And know I will love you still
You can live by yourself, you can gather friends around
You can choose one special one
And the only measure of your words and your deeds
Will be the love you leave behind when you're done
There are girls who grow up strong and bold
There are boys quiet and kind
Some race on ahead, some follow behind
Some go in their own way and time
Some women love women, some men love men
Some raise children, some never do
You can dream all the day never reaching the end
Of everything possible for you
Don't be rattled by names, by taunts, by games
But seek out spirits true
If you give your friends the best part of yourself
They will give the same back to you
You can be anybody you want to be
You can love whomever you will
You can travel any country where your heart leads
And know I will love you still
You can live by yourself, you can gather friends around
You can choose one special one
And the only measure of your words and your deeds
Will be the love you leave behind when you're done
Why did you change the lyric "everything possible" to "all the things possible for you"? This is where the title of the song is included - of all the lyrics to change, these shouldn't be. Other than that, I like this arrangement and you did a fine job. Thanks for posting.
