Frank Turner - Miranda lyrics

My father's called Miranda these days
She's a proud transgender woman
And my resentment has started to fade
'Cause it was never about who she was
Just the way that he behaved
Now my father is Miranda, we're ok

All the years we were estranged
I was always hoping you would
Find a way to change
And after everything that we've been through
Miranda, it's lovely to meet you

When I was young
He always seemed so filled with rage
Hе was angry at my clothes
My hair, my music, my teen age
But one sunny aftеrnoon she was dancing
Next to me on stage
I felt my anger drain away
From inside my ribcage

And all the years we were estranged
I was always hoping you would
Find a way to change
And after everything that we've been through
Miranda, it's lovely to meet you

The problem with carrying hate
For someone who doesn't know
'Cause you're the only one
Carrying the weight
Better just let it go and get to
Know you for who you are who you really are
Who you really are
And who you've always been
Who you've always been

And all the years that we have left
Let's be our best selves and let's be friends
I'll be me, promise me, you'll be you
Oh, Miranda, it's lovely to meet you
Oh, Miranda, it's lovely to meet you
It's lovely to meet you
