In The Family

There’s nothing you could say
There’s nothing you could do
Would make us stop loving you
That’s how I feel about your mother
And now I feel about you
You’re in the family now

You’re gonna fuck up
You’re gonna fuck up
It’s part of being human
You’re a human being
Scared is okay
Sad is okay
Feeling isn’t being
And being isn’t staying
Go see–
Oh my god, you are so free

You could come to me
You can come to me
When you’re scared of your mother
Our Jewish mothers
You could come to me

'Cause nothing you can say
Nothing you could do
Would make me stop loving you
Yeah, I’ve been scared of your mother
Probably’ll be scared of you too
And so will your father
And your grandparents too
Part of the family now

You’ll piss us off
You’re gonna piss us all off
You’re a human being
A growing human being
Fail, it’s okay
Run, it’s okay
Feeling isn’t being
And being isn’t staying
Go see–
Oh my god, you are so free
Ooh-ooh

Fail, it’s okay
Run, it’s okay
Come home when you’re ready
Dinner’s on the table
If you changed, it’s okay
Change is okay
Everything is moving
Be a little stupid
Happiness is precious
Sadness isn’t wisdom
Kindness can be selfish
Bad thoughts will happen
It doesn’t make you evil
Nobody’s just evil
Let go of the anger
You are loved, that’s all that matters
Take the help of others
Share your own covers
Watch a lot of magic
The magic’s not the card trick
It’s the widening of your eyes
Happiness is shy
It won't want to be noticed
Happiness can feel sad
Cry, it’s okay
Laugh, it’s okay
These feelings are important
To be a human being

(But hang on
'Cause you’re becoming something new)
