Give and Take

Part 5: Exploring parent-child relationships in adulthood through music.

I mostly lost my voice the day of this recording, so huge thanks to my sister Jerica for joining me and adding her magic to this song!

Adult child Give and Take Parent
I take and you give And you give and I take
You share your wisdom And you share your grace
Though I’m more needy than I was in the past
The depth of your love gives me strength unsurpassed

How are you doing? Oh, living the dream
Would you like coffee?
Sure, do you have cream? // It’s been a rough week.
Tell me, what’s going on?
The kids won’t stop screaming, my sanity’s gone
Those days are hard days, but what can you do?
I’m in survival mode. What’s new with you?
Your nieces are coming for a playdate tomorrow.
Oh, I’ll bring back that old snowsuit that we borrowed.
I’ve got a procedure in a couple of months.
Do you need a ride? I’ll come over at once.
Whatever you need, I can also bring food.
Even a visit would brighten my mood.

I take and you give And you give and I take
You share your wisdom And you share your grace
Though life is different than it was in the past
The depth of your love gives me strength unsurpassed
