Were you named for the river that surrounds 
All my biggest mistakes? Or the way that I made it out?
All the muscles in my mouth 
Never smiled or said profound things
Until the day she handed you to me

Now, for all the steps you'll take
And all you'll overcome
I wanna be the one to put it in a song
Took every single tear
For all the word to hear
I wanna be the one to put it in a song

Cigarettes are raining hard
On the Upper East Side
She brings me a cake we celebrate, I have arrived
And I know that it's been sang before 
But you're my human holiday
I put my hands to the table and dare say 
The love of my life
And your brother with his best friend
Shares a name I'm gonna need
Really couldn't bring me down

For everything you lost and all you've overcome
I wanna be the one to put it in a song
Take every single tear
For all the word to hear
I wanna be the one to put it in a song
And and make it last forever

Clever comes in truth
When truth begets the past 
It sends a call out to the moon
And the moon can see the beauty 
That surrounds your heart 
As it pounds and it starts the beat 
Inspiring me until i make the sound

I wanna be the one, I wanna be one, I wanna be the one

For everything you lost and all you overcome
I wanna be the one to put it in a song
Take every single tear for all the world to hear
I wanna be the one to put it in a song
