[Verse 1]
Sometimes I don't like it
But that don't mean I don't love it
Sometimes I get down so low
But that don't mean I can't rise above it
Sometimes it's the vast unknown
As far as I can see
And sometimes it feels like I'm touching everything
And everything is touching me
I've lost people and money
To become the woman I am today
And I'll still be becoming tomorrow
Maybe losin', but still choosin' her anyway
[Chorus]
And oh, it's a lot to look at all that I got
It's a lot to see who I am and am not
But I can laugh and I can love and I can dream
And I can do hard things
[Verse 2]
I look at my baby
I wouldn't trade him for the world
And I've gained joy like I've never known
But lost the lightness when I was a girl
We're told to say that it's better
And it is and it isn't, and I know
That there's little black or white
There's little wrong or right
And mostly it's both
[Chorus]
And oh, it's a lot to look at all that I got
It's a lot to see who I am and am not
But I can laugh and I can love and I can dream
And I can do hard things
[Bridge]
Sometimes I can hold it all
I know where I end and where I start
And sometimes it's all way too heavy
And I weigh more than the sum of all my parts
[Chorus]
And oh, it's a lot to look at all that I got
It's a lot to see who I am and am not
But I can laugh and I can love and I can dream
I can win or I can lose, it's all the same
I still dance, and I'll sing in the pain
And I can do hard things

The reality is that we live in so much gray and we are also made for those hard things just as we are for those joyous things. When I became a mom, the landscape shifted for me. Your whole perspective changes. We’re taught to think if you don’t say that everything about being a mom is good then you...
