  • 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 teen age
    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 Writer/s: Frank Turner
