My father is called Miranda these days She's a proud transgender woman, and my resentment has started to fade Because it was never about who she was, just the way that he behaved And now my father is Miranda and we're ok In all the years we were estranged I was always hoping that 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 He was angry at my clothes, my hair, my music, my teenage But one sunny afternoon, she was dancing next to me on stage I felt my anger drain away from inside my rib cage In all the years we were estranged I was always hoping that 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 Is you're the only one carrying the weight Best to 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 In all the years that we have left Let's be our best selves, and 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
