Leah it's your birthday, Why do you have to be so ashamed of your last name? Weren't you asking when we could go back home again? And we'll go and you'll know that we love you. And we'll go and you'll know that we lost you. Hey mom and dad, Come look at this photograph, Even though it's black and white, there was so much color in our eyes Even you could be happy too, And that's what they tell us when we wait in line for soup And we'll soar like we've never soared before And we'll sing songs of joy And we'll go and you'll know that it's been so long, Talking more than years since I've seen these colors And not been drowning in tears. This side of the spectrum is so warm and familiar You need to slow down You need to give us a chance To make things better We won't let you down.
