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
And now my father is Miranda
And we're okay
And all the years we were estranged
I was always hoping he 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
He was angry at my clothes, my hair, my music, my teen age
But one sunny afternoon she was dancing next to me on stage
I felt my anger drain away from inside my blue cage
And all the years we were estranged
I was always hoping that he 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 we doesn't know
Is you're the only one carrying the weight
Best to do is let it go
Get to know you for who you are
(Pa-pa-pa-pa-parararara, pa-pa-pa-pa)
Who you really are
(Pa-pa-pa-pa-parararara, pa-pa-pa-pa)
Who you really are
(Pa-pa-pa-pa-parararara, pa-pa-pa-pa)
And who you've always been
(Pa-pa-pa-pa-parararara, pa-pa-pa-pa)
Who you've always been
And all the years that we have left
Let's be our best selves
Let's be friends
I'll be me, promise me
That 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
