Mama made it look easy
Daddy sure seemed tough
Just a two bedroom apartment
But I was one of the lucky ones
Looking back, I didn't see it
'Til I turned twenty-five
And just like that, it hit me
That we were just alike
My mom's her mother's daughter
My dad's his father's son
No capes or superpowers
Like I thought when I was young
It took some time to realize
They're human just like us
Never had it figured out
But I could never do without
A mother's daughter and father's son
Never saw my mama crying
Always hiding the truth
She could've taught me to give up
But that was something she would never do
I finally started to see it
When I hit thirty-five
They didn't have it all figured out
Living life for the first time
My mom's her mother's daughter
My dad's his father's son
No capes or superpowers
Like I thought when I was young
It took some time to realize
They're human just like us
Never had it figured out
But I could never do without
A mother's daughter and father's son
Mama made it look easy
Daddy sure seemed tough
Just a two bedroom apartment
But I was one of the lucky ones
