What it takes to bring up a child

A flabby back to lean on on a moped when the weather's vile

An insulated lunch box that carries the meal cooked in the morning

A cramped apartment on a discounted rent to dwell in

An embarrassed ask for leave, driving to accept a blind story

A heart of gold running dry of tears that never bleeds or weeps

A born-to-be master of the hardest skills people have ever known

A creaky watch powered by time but loses its time zone

One makes a harbor, two makes a village

What you see isn't what you need

Extending the wire to the clashes and fire

What you see is what you believe

Toward humble ambitions

Endeavors are grand to make the sky bigger

From swinging to the sky to running out of sight, the pages burn faster

What it takes to bring up a child

Inexplicable misunderstanding and wordless goodbyes

Constant prayers and worries flip over the pillow, land on the glade

Quitely shine in the moonlight, a secret reserved in a fading maze

One makes a harbor, two makes a village

What you see isn't what you need

Extending the wire to the clashes and fire

What you don't see but will perceive

Called bonded adventures but the boundary keeps getting clearer

From interwoven ties to parallel lines, the rift just gets wider

But we'll make it work

We'll make it work

We'll make it work

We'll make it work

What it takes, whatever it takes to bring up a child
