lyrics

Papa
Lifted up a home
Gave it walls and doors for us to run around

Mama
Spun it into gold
Built a warming fire to feed our growing bones

And oh, how easy it all seems
Now that we can fly, we forget how much they dreamed
And I know, and I know, and I know
They didn't have a map, but they had a plan
But now I'm wondering

Am I supposed to be great
or happy?
Tell me what's the right way to go
Am I supposed to be great
or happy?
Or do you think, don't you think
Think that I can be both

Papa
Acts like he's still young
Hands and knees are cracking but he's still moving tons
Mama
Questions all the years
Latches on so tightly, afraid I'll disappear

And oh, how scary it all seems
Now that they are older, our days are numbering
And I know, and I know, and I know
They carried so much weight so that I could win
All for me to think

Am I supposed to be great
or happy?
Tell me what's the right way to go
Am I supposed to be great
or happy?
Or do you think, don't you think
Think that I can be both

Maybe what they want is to give me hope
If one doesn't pan out the other's good enough
Maybe what I want is to hold them close
And know what I decide doesn't need to compromise

Oh

Am I supposed to be great
or happy?
Tell me what's the right way to go
Am I supposed to be great
or happy?
Or do you think, don't you think
Think that I can be both
